FOREWORD 



To the sons of M. A. C. this book will always be a sa- 
cred volume. It tells the proud story of Alma Mater's 
devotion and patriotism during the most critical days in 
the long march of democracy and liberty. It presents 
simply the plain facts which set forth, better than eulogy 
or eloquence, the essential nobility of her spirit and the 
stern grandeur of her soul. 

These pages do not contain all the precious facts nor 
tell the full story. No pages could tell all. Could, in- 
deed, any page do more than give a slight glimpse of her 
noble deeds and flaming passion? The broken records 
must therefore suffice. They are enough, however, to re- 
veal to us her hidden secret and true glory. 

Brother Alumni, you will find in these pages a record 
that breathes of highest endeavor, splendid consecration, 
heroic achievement and the supremely beautiful surrender 
of youth and life to a great cause. You will find them in- 
spiring you to pledge yourselves anew to God and coun- 
try, and to bow your heads reverently in gratitude and 
love for the wonderful legacy left to you and your suc- 
cessors. You will find, too, that they will make you glad, 
infinitely glad, to know that you are the brothers of these 
brothers, and the children of this great mother. 

Amherst, Mass., May 4, 1921. 



MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 
COLLEGE IN THE WAR 



Early Military Response 

The mobilization of tlie French Army in August, 1914, 
marked the initial participation of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College in the World War. As soon as France 
declared war, Robert Henri Chapon, a member of the 
class of 1914, left his position with a prominent business 
house in Boston, and sailed for France to take part in the 
world struggle. "Bob" was of French ancestry, and 
responded to the call of his native land with characteristic 
promptness, zeal, and patriotism. Together with thou- 
sands of other French soldiers he was sent into active 
service during the first terrible months of the German 
advance, with inadequate military training, and was 
killed on the field of battle at Verdun December 30, 1914. 
He was the first M. A. C. man and perhaps the first 
American college man to lose his life in the war. 

During the fall of 1914, and through the years of 1915 
and 1916, a few M. A. C. men joined the army either of 
their own country or of one of the allied countries engaged 
in the war. By the first of January, 1917, probably a 
dozen men from this College were in military service. 

In March, 1917, when America's entrance into the war 
seemed inevitable, our students grew impatient to be 
among the first of those who should be ready to take an 
active part in the struggle. One morning early in that 
month three members of the senior class came to Presi- 
dent Butterfield and asked what arrangements could be 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



made for them to receive their diplomas, provided they 
should leave college then to join the army. These men 
left in March, and after a brief period spent in intensive 
study at Washington, passed their examinations and 
were commissioned in the regular army. These men 
were Walter A. Mack, Everett L. Upson and Arthur F. 
Williams. As soon as a state of war with Germany was 
declared, scores of our students immediately made their 
plans to volunteer for military or naval service. Soon 
word was received that an Officers' Training School at 
Plattsburg would open in May. The announcement of 
the quota which might be sent from this institution at 
once brought joy and disappointment to our men, — 
joy to those who hoped that they might be among the 
fortunate ones to be chosen, and disappointment to those 
who realized that because of the selective process there 
would not be an opportunity for all to go. Later an 
adjustment was made whereby the unfilled quota of a 
near-by institution was allotted to the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College. Forty-three undergraduates and 
alumni of the Massachusetts Agricultural College were 
finally admitted to the First Officers' Training School, 
and practically every one of these men received a com- 
mission at the end of the period of training. This was an 
exceptional record, because approximately only 65 per 
cent of the whole number were commissioned. 

It should be remembered that this early enthusiasm 
on the part of M. A. C. men was exhibited before the first 
draft law was mentioned. 

Scores of undergraduates and graduates were admitted 
through our military department, or through other 
agencies, to the Second Officers' Training School at 
Plattsburg, opening in August, 1917; to the Third 
Officers' Training School, opening at Yaphank, L. I., 
in January, 1918; and to the Fourth Officers' Training 
Schools, held at various centers in May, 1918. 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Captain Henry W. Fleet was then the military com- 
mandant at the College, and he was untiring in his efforts 
to assist M. A. C. men in their endeavors to gain ad- 
mittance to the ofl&cers' training schools, as well as to 
other branches of the military organization. In the 
summer of 1917 he was transferred to larger and more 
responsible duties, and during the entire war, as an officer 
of high rank, made an enviable record for efficiency and 
leadership. But he never lost his affection for M. A. C. 
and her men, and often when serving in important military 
stations in France he found opportunity to render some 
special service to those whom he had known in Amherst. 

The Massachusetts Food Committee 

On February 9, 1917, Governor McCall, in anticipation 
of war with Germany, appointed one hundred citizens of 
the Commonwealth as a Committee on Public Safety. 
Naturally the military aspect of the situation was upper- 
most in the mind of the Governor and of those whom he 
selected for the committee, and in its original organiza- 
tion of subcommittees, no recognition was made of the 
agricultural problems confronting the State. President 
Butterfield immediately corresponded with Mr. James 
J. Storrow, chairman of the committee, in reference to 
the importance of recognizing food supply as a war emer- 
gency, with the result that Mr. Storrow requested the 
Massachusetts Federation for Rural Progress to name a 
committee on food production and conservation. This 
request was complied with on March 2, the committee 
was at once made a subcommittee of the Committee on 
Public Safety, and on March 5 was organized with Mr. 
John D. Willard of the Franklin County Farm Bureau, 
and subsequently director of the Extension Service of the 
College, as executive secretary. The personnel of the 
committee was as follows: 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Kenyon L. Butterfield, Chairman. Carlton D. Richardson. 

Philip R. Allen. Henry Sterling. 

Reginald W. Bird. Marcus L. Urann. 

Nathaniel I. Bowditch. Wilfrid Wheeler. 

Joshua L. Brooks. John D. Willard, Secretary. 

The program of food production developed by the 
committee outlined three sources of increased produc- 
tion, — the first and chief, on farms, largely with the 
staple crops; the second, in boys' and girls' gardens; 
and the third, through family gardens carried on by 
residents of cities and villages. Later an auxiliary com- 
mittee on food conservation was organized, with Dean 
Sarah Louise Arnold of Simmons College as chairman. 

President Butterfield, as chairman of the food com- 
mittee, for over a year took an active part in formulating 
and directing the policies of this important project, which 
became one of the most necessary and useful under the 
Massachusetts Public Safety Committee. 

Campus Mobilization 

The College at once placed its entire resources at the 
disposal of the Commonwealth as represented by the 
Committee on Public Safety, stating that it wished to 
render every possible service in the emergency. Its 
attitude towards both State and national governments 
is shown by the following vote of the faculty passed 
April 5, 1917: 

Whereas, The land grant colleges of America, owing their 
origin to the stern realization of the absolute need and utter 
unpreparedness of the nation during the darkest period of the 
great strife (the Civil War), were established in order that the 
nation might ever be ready to meet victoriously any and every 
foe that might oppose her at any time during the long future; 
and 

Whereas, To these colleges, during all the years since the 

10 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Morrill Land Grant Act, the people of the United States and of 
the Commonwealth have given generously of their substance 
and wealth, and ever manifested unfailing loyalty and love to 
them; and 

Whereas, The Massachusetts Agricultural College, as one of 
the members of this noble sisterhood of colleges, has been boun- 
tifully nurtured and blessed by the rare munificence of the gov- 
ernment; be it therefore 

Resolved, That we, the faculty of the Massachusetts Agri- 
cultural College, fully recognizing our peculiar obligations to 
our beloved country in this hour of her new danger and peril, 
do pledge anew to her and to her cause our utmost loyalty and 
devotion, and place at her service without reservation all the 
strength, influence and resources which God hath vouchsafed 
to us; and be it further 

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the 
President of the United States and to the Governor of this 
Commonwealth, and that it be placed before the people as the 
true attitude of the faculty of the Massachusetts Agricultural 
College. 

A committee on campus mobilization was organized 
March 5 with the following personnel: Professor Wil- 
liam D. Hurd, Dr. William P. Brooks, Professor Fred 
C. Sears and Professor William P. B. Lockwood. This 
committee made a census of students and alumni with 
reference to their fitness and willingness to perform either 
military or agricultural service. The committee also 
canvassed the entire faculty and made assignments to 
different projects of endeavor in accordance with a definite 
and well-considered plan. The committee also acted as 
a clearing house for students and faculty desiring to enlist 
in agricultural work, approved and organized projects, 
and assigned members of the staff to special pieces of 
work as occasion demanded. 

The members of the Extension staff carried on their 
regular work, but in a highly augmented fashion. Their 

11 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



service was performed very largely in co-operation with 
the county farm bureaus, which soon became the actual 
centers of intensified agricultural operation throughout 
the State. Many of the teaching staff, as soon as they 
were relieved from their regular duties, took up special 
war service assigned to them in the field or on the campus. 
The research work of the Experiment Station naturally 
went on as usual, inasmuch as all such work was con- 
cerned more or less directly with problems of food pro- 
duction. 

War Work of the Faculty 

Many members of the faculty left for war service; some 
resigned their positions for this purpose, and others were 
granted leaves of absence. The policy of the College 
was to support claims for deferred classification for 
those members of the staff seeking such on occupational 
grounds. 

The carrying out of the program for food production, 
distribution, and conservation, which was developed by 
the Massachusetts State food committee in 1917, required 
the assistance of many trained experts. The College 
had placed itself and all its resources at the disposal of 
this committee, and a majority of the teaching staff aided 
in some capacity in the agricultural mobilization work 
of that season. In doing this many voluntarily gave up 
nearly all of their summer vacation. Under the direction 
of Professor Lockwood, secretary of the campus committee 
on mobilization, records were kept of all mobilization 
work done for the thirty-five week period beginning 
April 1 and ending November 30, 1917. The following 
statistics are compiled from his records:

so adjusted its work as to contribute the equivalent of 
1,476 working days, the equivalent of 240 working weeks, 
or 4.73 years. The actual salary thus represented was, 
for the faculty, $14,651.13, and for the Extension staff, 
$9,355.25, making a total of $24,006.38. In addition, it 
was estimated that at least $8,000 was contributed to the 
work through office supplies, clerical assistance, printing, 
and travel.

agricultural work, chiefly on farms and as garden supervisors (36 of these students and 4 
alumni were placed as agricultural and garden supervisors) ; 2 members of the teaching staff 
did 25 days, each, on special research work for the United States Department of Agriculture 
(not listed above).

M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



War Work of the Experiment Station 

It was found inexpedient to make any radical changes 
in the work of the Experiment Station because of the war. 
Nearly every investigation bore directly on the production 
of food, while the control work with fertilizers and feed- 
stuffs could not be interrupted because of the possibilities of 
low-priced substitutes for high-priced standard materials. 

Various lines of investigation suggested by war con- 
ditions were undertaken. Varieties of wheat and rye were 
grown for a comparative test of yields and quality. Nu- 
trition studies with young animals were undertaken to 
determine their minimum protein needs. The fundamental 
principles of sterilizing food by heat were investigated 
in connection with the canning of fruit and vegetables. 
The back-yard war gardens with their lights and shadows 
led to a study of the effects of different intensities of light 
on common garden crops. Studies of the economic con- 
ditions of marketing crops were carried on in a limited 
way. This last-named project and the canning project 
were limited by a lack of assistants, as the men engaged 
were one by one drawn into the military service and no 
one could be secured for the vacancies. 

The general effect of the war was to lessen the activities 
of the Experiment Station by the withdrawal of men for 
war service. 

Special War Service directed by the Extension 

Service 

During the ten years prior to 1917 there had gradually 
been built up in this country a system of agricultural 
Extension work which was to be called upon during the 
war to render an immediate service more important than 
had been anticipated by its most ardent supporters. 
This national system is made up of three units, — the 

15 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Federal government, represented by the United States 
Department of Agriculture; the State, represented by the 
Agricultural College; and the county, represented by the 
farm bureau. 

This agricultural Extension Service — the co-operation 
of these three agencies — which had been developed in 
Massachusetts during the past decade served well the 
needs of the State in the emergency. 

The entire organization was at the command of the 
State food production committee to handle matters of 
farm and suburban production and the home conservation 
of food. All regulatory matters were administered by the 
Food Administration. Local county and town committees 
were organized for food production and conservation. 

It is impossible to recite in detail how this Extension 
organization functioned in helping to secure a better 
food supply, to conserve food, and thereby to inculcate in 
the minds of the people proper ideas of patriotism and 
support of the nation during this war period; but a few 
instances will give some idea of the work done. 

In increased farm production much was accomplished. 
Franklin County alone increased its crops in the following 
ratios: corn (grain), 29 per cent; silage, 58 per cent; oats, 
64 per cent; wheat, 33 per cent; potatoes, 10 per cent; 
beans, 10 per cent, and rye, 18 per cent. 

Over the State as a whole, in spite of the shortage of 
good seed corn, twenty-nine thousand acres more corn 
were grown in 1918 than in 1916. Dairy production was 
maintained and State-wide campaigns for the larger use 
of dairy products were organized. The number of hogs 
and sheep was largely increased. 

The movement for home and factory gardens became 
popular. A careful census showed that during 1918 there 
were more than two hundred and eighty thousand non- 
commercial gardens on which garden produce to the value 
of more than $6,000,000 was raised, and four hundred 

16 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



and twenty-five supervisors were actively engaged in giving 
advice and helping to direct the growing of these gardens. 

Food conservation was taught and demonstrated by 
State specialists and rural and urban agents. Training 
schools for leaders were held at the College and in several 
counties, as well as at normal schools. Economy in the 
use of clothing, and assistance in home management and 
budget making was given. Large classes of young women 
were instructed in Smith and Mount Holyoke colleges. 
The amount of food canned and preserved under the 
direction of Extension instructors can be counted by the 
hundreds of thousands of cans. Young women of foreign 
nationality were trained in conservation work and then 
sent among their own people to teach and to demonstrate. 
Persons especially trained for the task did special work 
with the industrial workers. 

Great progress was made in the movement to encourage 
more fruit and vegetable preservation on the part of home- 
makers and by community effort. Communities were 
assisted in the installation of properly equipped plants, 
and groups were instructed in the organization of the 
work. Special campaigns for the conservation of sugar 
were handled by six hundred and thirty-five leaders who 
had been specially trained in this work. 

A large amount of miscellaneous emergency assistance 
was given to various organizations during the period of 
the war. Some of the principal projects were as follows: 
service to the Federal Milk Commission in fixing the price 
of milk; securing farm help for farms; making surveys 
of food conditions in and about cities; rendering expert 
advice and assistance to other State institutions; helping 
to place units of State-owned machinery on farms; in- 
struction to a unit of the Woman's Land and Agricultural 
Army; assistance to the farm operated by the United 
States Army at Camp Devens; and teaching war aims 
and American ideals. 

17 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Wliile it can be truly said that .Federal, State, county, 
and local Extension Service agents were largely responsible 
for the organization of and instruction in these various 
movements, yet there are at least three significant things 
that should not be overlooked. First, this great work 
was accomplished without the creation of new, overlapping 
or duplicating machinery; it was simply necessary to 
add more people to do the extra work demanded. Second, 
it was a work in which the other publicly supported 
agencies of the State, privately supported institutions, 
and individuals co-operated liberally in a whole-hearted 
manner. Third, the volume of work done and the results 
obtained would never have been possible without a general 
attitude of receptiveness, a willingness to learn, to do, 
and to make any sacrifices necessary, on the part of people 
generally when they once understood the necessity or 
motive which was behind the movement or request. 

Agricultural Production on the College Farm 

On April 19, 1917, the farm committee of the trustees 
met at Amherst and arranged with the farm and horticul- 
tural departments for the planting of larger areas of staple 
crops than had been contemplated. About forty acres 
of land not previously cultivated were assigned for this 
purpose. At that time, also, arrangements were made 
whereby members of the faculty could obtain garden 
plots on land owned by the College. 

War Work of the Students in 1917 and 1918 

Acting in accordance with expressions coming from 
President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker and others, 
as well as in harmony with the convictions of the President 
and the Dean of the College, every endeavor was made, 
after war was declared, to maintain the teaching work 

18 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



on a normal basis. It soon developed, however, that not 
only were the students very uneasy and inclined to neglect 
class work, but the demand for farm labor in the State 
was such that their help was greatly needed. Conse- 
quently, the faculty passed a vote on April 20, 1917, pro- 
viding that students who wished to leave before the end 
of the year to work on farms should receive credit for their 
college courses if they performed satisfactory farm labor 
for twelve weeks. Under this plan a large majority of 
the students left within two weeks, and by the first of 
May the College was practically closed. 

Nearly all of the students going into agriculture found 
their own positions, although the committee on mobiliza- 
tion assisted in many cases. Approximately four hundred 
men found employment in farming, gardening or in super- 
vision of such enterprises as boys' and girls' clubs, or 
community garden plots. About fifty men went into 
military service. All told, nearly five hundred students, 
or about 95 per cent of the total, were performing war 
emergency service by the first of June, 85 per cent being 
in agricultural service and 10 per cent in military service. 
This is a remarkable and significant record. Every effort 
was made to keep in touch with the students in the field; 
many were visited personally during the summer by mem- 
bers of the staff. Reports were made by the students as 
well as by their employers. Dean Lewis devoted a large 
part of the summer to analyzing these reports, and to 
corresponding with both students and employers. Many 
men who had never before had farm experience readily 
adapted themselves to the work, and the testimony of 
employers was uniformly most complimentary to the nien. 

The College year 1917-18 opened with a greatly reduced 
attendance. Of 138 men who in the fall of 1916 registered 
in the class of 1918, only 64 returned to College in 1917. 
In the class of 1919 the attendance was 113 in 1917, as 
against 174 registered in the fall of 1916; 117 out of 170 

19 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



in the class of 1920 returned in 1917. In 1917 there were 
118 freshmen as compared with a registration of 170 in 
1916. 

In order to allow those students who were on farms 
to render the fullest possible service, the College year in 
the fall of 1917 did not open until October 10. 

By the spring of 1918 many of the students had volun- 
teered for military service, and the draft had taken more. 
Of those who finished the academic year in April, 1918, 
nearly every man immediately entered the army or navy, 
or went to work in munition plants, shipyards or on 
agricultural projects. 

In November, 1917, a joint committee of undergraduates 
and faculty undertook the task of providing Christmas 
boxes for M. A. C. men who were overseas, and every 
such man whose address was known, as well as many men 
in home camps, was reminded at the holiday season that 
he had devoted and loving friends at Aggie. The practice 
of writing to at least one soldier every Sunday night was 
also encouraged among the fraternities. Over one hundred 
"Smileage" books, providing free admission to camp 
theatres, were purchased and distributed to M. A. C. 
men in American camps. In this as in many other campus 
activities the women students displayed a most commend- 
able spirit of patriotism and loyalty to the great cause 
and to the M. A. C. men who were fighting and sacrificing 
for it. 

Academic Adjustments 

As previously stated, the spring term of 1917 was com- 
pletely disorganized. All students who left for military 
or agricultural service, and who remained in this service 
for at least three months, were given credit for the term's 
work. On account of the apparent need for men in the 
agricultural industry in 1917 and 1918, it was thought 
best to change the academic year of 1917-18 to three terms 

20 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



of nine weeks each. Accordingly, College opened October 
10, 1917, and closed April 27, 1918. It was hoped that 
by a general speeding up practically as much could be 
accomplished in the nine weeks' terms as was usually 
accomplished in twelve weeks. Such, however, did not 
prove to be the case. Partly because of the shortened 
terms and partly because of the general unrest still pre- 
vailing among the students, the academic year of 1917- 
18 was not entirely satisfactory. 

Arrangements were made for the College year in 1918 
to begin September 25 and close approximately the first 
of June, 1919. But the lowering of the draft age in the 
summer of 1918 and the organization of the Student Army 
Training Corps made it necessary to abandon this plan. 
College opened, however, September 25, and when the 
Student Army Training Corps was disbanded, in Decem- 
ber, it was decided to continue the College year on the 
usual basis of terms of twelve weeks. The second term 
opened December 30, 1918, and the College year closed 
June 24, 1919. 

Liberal allowances were made by the faculty to students 
returning to College from military service at the beginning 
of the second term of this year, and the number coming 
back was most gratifying. At the beginning of the fall 
term of 1919 over 100 students, whose college education 
had been interrupted on account of the war, returned 
to resume their academic training. 

Adjustments of Student Activities 

All athletic activities were suspended with the outbreak 
of the war in April, 1917. It became apparent that it 
would not be feasible to organize a football schedule for 
that fall. Intercollegiate hockey, basketball and track 
were conducted in the year 1917-18, but owing to the 
early closing of the term in 1918, no intercollegiate base- 

21 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



ball schedule was arranged. In the fall of 1918, with 
the S. A. T. C. on the campus, it was inadvisable to or- 
ganize intercollegiate sports. With the return, at the 
beginning of the second term 1918-19, to a normal conduct 
of affairs, all forms of intercollegiate athletics in which 
the College had participated before the war were resumed. 
In the year 1917-18 interclass and intergroup athletics 
were encouraged, and in the fall and spring represented 
the main athletic interest on the campus. 

The "Collegian" was continued as long as was possible 
in the spring of 1917. During the summer supplements 
to the "Collegian" were from time to time issued by a 
group of students working at the College, assisted by 
members of the faculty. These contained news of Aggie 
men as well as letters from them, and were mailed to 
students engaged in agricultural or military service. The 
paper was published through 1917 and 1918 without serious 
interruption. In the autumn of 1918 there was substituted 
for the College senate a student council which, during 
the first term, functioned as would the regular Senate. 

Commencement in 1917 and 1918 

Members of the senior class began to leave College in 
March, 1917, and all had by the latter part of May secured 
positions away from the College, either in military service 
or in some form of agricultural mobilization. Necessarily 
the usual plans for Commencement had to be abandoned. 
It seemed desirable, however, to arrange for simple Com- 
mencement exercises, and to secure the attendance of as 
many as possible of those entitled to diplomas. Saturday 
evening, June 30, was set aside for the affair. The degree 
of bachelor of science was conferred upon one hundred 
and three men and one woman. Of this number, sixty- 
five returned to receive their diplomas in person. Nearly 
all of those who were unable to return were in military 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



camps, although a few were engaged in important agri- 
cultural enterprises from which they could not be spared 
even for a day. To those who could not be present the 
diploma was sent by mail. 

There was a dinner at Draper Hall to which seniors 
and members of the faculty were invited. The attendance 
was nearly one hundred. Following the supper there were 
informal speeches by the President, the Dean, and repre- 
sentatives of the graduating class. At 8 o'clock the formal 
Commencement exercises were held in Bowker Auditorium; 
this program consisted of music, a brief address by the 
President, and the awarding of the diplomas. 

Owing to the fact that so many members of the class 
who would have graduated in 1918 were absent in war 
service, it was thought advisable to arrange a simple and 
yet dignified Commencement program. The date set 
for this occasion was Saturday, April 27. Commencement 
was held in the forenoon in Bowker Auditorium. Presi- 
dent George C. Creelman of the Ontario Agricultural 
College gave an interesting address on "The Duty of 
the Trained Agriculturist in the Present Crisis and After." 
Brief remarks were made by Lieutenant-Governor Calvin 
Coolidge, and the degrees were awarded by the President. 
Following these exercises an informal reception was held 
for the seniors and their friends, and a luncheon was given 
at the dining hall to one hundred and fifty seniors, guests, 
and members of the faculty. Altogether, it was felt that 
the plans as carried out met the situation admirably. 
There were forty-two seniors present to receive their 
degrees in person, three of this number being women. 
In addition, twelve degrees were awarded to members of 
the class who had attended the institution during the 
year, but were at that time absent on war service. Over 
one hundred seniors under normal conditions would have 
graduated in 1918.

M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Student Army Training Corps 

On May 8, 1918, the War Department announced its 
plan for establishing a Student Army Training Corps in 
practically every American college. This plan provided 
for the enlistment in the army of boys from eighteen to 
twenty-one years old, and their assignment to colleges 
for one, two, or three years, and, under certain conditions, 
for even a longer period. The purpose was to maintain 
the normal attendance at the colleges, and at the same 
time to train men for officers and for certain expert service 
required in the army. 

The modification of the selective service law in August, 
whereby the draft age was lowered to eighteen, would 
have depleted almost to the last man the attendance at 
the men's colleges. Consequently the regulations of the 
S. A. T. C. were immediately adjusted to meet the new 
situation. The Massachusetts Agricultural College ac- 
cepted the opportunity to operate under the provisions 
of the S. A. T. C, which may briefly be stated as follows: 
Men formerly enrolled in the College, and those between 
the ages of eighteen and twenty-one who were able to meet 
the entrance requirements, were allowed to enter college 
as usual in the autumn. These men were inducted into 
the army as regular soldiers, and as such received $30 
per month, — the pay of privates, — and were clothed, 
housed, fed, and trained at government expense. A con- 
tract was made with the institution for the housing, feed- 
ing, and medical care of the men. The War Department 
furnished the necessary military staff. These soldiers 
were required to take military drill and certain academic 
subjects prescribed by the War Department. Such time 
as remained was to be utilized by the soldiers in the pur- 
suance of such academic courses as they should choose. 

At the outset we were given to understand that boys 

24 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



twenty years of age would probably be allowed to remain 
in the College three months; nineteen years of age, six 
months; and eighteen years of age, nine months. The 
plan further contemplated distributing members of the 
S. A. T. C. at the end of each three months' period; their 
military and scholastic records would be examined, and, 
on the basis of these joint records, one of three things would 
be done with the man: (1) he would be sent to an officers' 
training school; (2) he would be allowed to remain at 
the College for further technical training; and (3) if he 
had shown no special aptitude, either for military work 
or for the technical training desired in the army, he would 
be transferred to a depot brigade as a private. Men thus 
transferred from the College were to be replaced by de- 
tachments assigned from depot brigades, which would be 
chosen as being qualified to benefit by three months' 
training in the S. A. T. C. The vacancies could also be 
filled by high school boys completing their course during 
the year. Had the war continued, the College would have 
become a permanent training camp, open the year round. 

The final regulations by the War Department allowed 
the College to admit men who had completed, in any 
subject, fourteen units of high school work. On this basis 
a number of men were admitted to the S. A. T. C. who 
would not have been admitted as regular students. 

The S. A. T. C. was formally established October 1, 
1918. The College originally asked to be allowed to enroll 
three hundred and fifty men, but when the applications 
exceeded this number the quota was increased to four 
hundred; the total enlistment was three hundred and fifty- 
one, with twelve others taking the work as civilians. In 
addition to those registered as soldiers, there were seventy- 
three men and twenty-four women enrolled as regular 
students. 

Early in October, by direction of the War Department, 
the best qualified members of the S. A. T. C. were trans- 

25 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



ferred to officers' training schools, and prior to November 
12, sixty of these men were thus transferred. No other 
men, however, were assigned to take their places. 

With the signing of the armistice on November 11 the 
plans for the S. A. T. C. were immediately interrupted. 
Finally, on November 27, it was announced that the 
S. A. T. C. would be disbanded not later than Decem- 
ber 21, 1918. 

Under the requirements of the S. A. T. C. certain educa- 
tional experiments were undertaken, some of which seemed 
to represent the foundation of beneficial reforms in edu- 
cational methods. Sufficient opportunity, however, was 
not given for the adequate testing of these methods. 

In harmony with the expressed wish of the War Depart- 
ment that soldiers be housed under conditions approxi- 
mating as nearly as possible the barracks arrangement 
at cantonments, the College utilized the dormitory rooms 
in North and South College, housing five to seven men in 
suites formerly occupied by two or three men. To sup- 
plement these accommodations certain rooms in French 
and Draper Halls were used. The soldiers were fed at 
Draper Hall. 

This institution was especially fortunate in the personnel 
of the military staff which was assigned for the training 
of its soldiers. Too high praise cannot be given to the 
entire staff for their enthusiasm, efficiency, and qualities 
of leadership. The staff consisted of the following: 
Colonel R. H. Wilson (retired), who succeeded Captain 
Fleet as commandant. Captain G. E, Rifenbark, Lieu- 
tenants Curry S. Hicks (personnel officer), W. E. S. 
Dickerson, E. J. Costello, L. L. Cunningham, F. Dehls, 
D. C. Chalmers, J. T. Dave and Sergeant J. J. Lee 
(retired). 

As soon as it was known that a detachment of soldiers 
would be stationed here a faculty committee was appointed 
to undertake such welfare work in behalf of the soldiers 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



as should be required. Working in co-operation with 
this committee the international Y. M. C. A. placed on 
the campus a competent secretary, who did much to assist 
the soldiers and regular students. The Social Union room 
in North College was placed at the disposal of the com- 
mittee, and was utilized as Y. M. C. A. headquarters. 

Support of Welfare Work 

The students and faculty participated most heartily 
in and contributed most generously to the work of the 
Red Cross and various other welfare agencies. In the 
autumn of 1917, when the campaign for the Y. M. C. A. 
was organized, the students voluntarily decided to try to 
raise $5,000 on the campus. After the canvass, which 
was exceptionally well organized by the students and lasted 
less than two days, it was found that the total pledges 
from the faculty and students exceeded $6,000. The 
students alone pledged nearly $4,500. Ninety per cent 
of all students contributed, and their average subscription 
was approximately $10. The response from the members 
of the staff was equally gratifying and generous. 

During the campaign in November, 1918, our students 
and faculty again responded most liberally. The following 
summary of pledges made in this campaign indicates the 
whole-hearted interest and generosity of the College: 

S. A. T. C: 

Company A, 145 out of approximately 150 pledged . $1,650 00 

Company B, 14f7 out of approximately 150 pledged . 1,595 00 

Non-military : 

Men, 50 out of approximately 69 pledged .... 423 50 
Women, 31 out of 31 pledged 343 00 



Total for 379 soldiers and students, .... $4,011 50

52 clerks pledged 291 50 

47 meclianics, laborers and miscellaneous employees 

pledged 363 00 

From girls' sorority 50 00 



Total for the institution, $7,575 00 



Participation in Liberty Loan Campaigns 

Students and faculty alike co-operated most loyally in 
all the Liberty Loan campaigns; not only did they make 
generous subscriptions, but many served successfully as 
solicitors for funds. 



War Work of the Alumni as Civilians 

The records which are available indicate that M. A. C. 
graduates and former students did their full share as 
civilians in promoting war work and in meeting the de- 
mands for leadership and service which were constantly 
made during the war by the multiplicity of interests 
and organizations. While the records of the full service 
rendered are not available, still a sufficient number of 
reports have been received to indicate the extent of the 
activities which claimed their attention. 

The many M. A. C. men who were engaged in farming 
rendered an important service in increasing the food pro- 
duction of the country by raising larger crops; also, about 
fifty M. A. C. men who were outside the draft age served 
as members of the Home Guard in their respective States. 

The following list has been arranged in the order of the 
number of men associated with each classification, and 
the total number involved is in excess of two hundred and 
seventy-five: 



28

1. Chairmen of committees or other workers connected with cam- 

paigns for the sale of Liberty Bonds, for subscriptions for the 
Red Cross and for other welfare organizations. 

2. Members of town or city public safety committees, including sub- 

committees on food production and conservation. 

3. Chairmen, members, medical examiners, or legal advisers for draft 

boards. 

4. Investigators for the Federal and State governments in connection 

with entomology, botany, and chemistry as related to food pro- 
duction and conservation. 

5. County agricultural agents and other Extension workers. 

6. Members of Federal, State, or local food administration organiza- 

tions. 

7. Engineers or construction foremen for the United States Housing 

Corporation and for the United States Emergency Fleet. 

8. Manufacturers of explosives, munitions, and other war materials. 

9. Directors of boys' and girls' garden clubs. 

10. Civilian workers in the Ordnance Department of the United States 

Army. 

11. Construction workers on army cantonments and shipbuilding 

establishments. 

12. Four-minute men. 

13. Garden supervisors. 

14. Farm bureau directors. 

15. Members of boards for fuel administration. 

16. Members of committee on education of the Council of National 

Defense. 

17. Workers in United States armories. 

18. Members of American Protective League. 

19. Leaders in Boys' Working Reserve. 

20. Workers in connection with the National Research Committee. 

21. Milk Administrator for New England. 



Special Work of M. A. C. Men 

Many M. A. C. men, both alumni and faculty, were, 
during the war, called into special service, either in con- 
nection with the army or with certain civilian organiza- 
tions. Some of the more important assignments are here 
mentioned. 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



President Kenyon L. Butterfield served as chairman 
of the Massachusetts Food Committee, as a member of 
the advisory committee of the Food Administrator of 
Massachusetts, as a member of the educational committee 
of the Council of National Defense, as a member of the 
International War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., and 
finally, in the summer of 1918, was asked to go to France 
as a member of the Army Overseas Educational Com- 
mission, to take charge of the vocational educational work 
among American soldiers. He sailed for France November 
30, 1918, and upon his arrival there began the organization 
of an immense educational enterprise. 

In April the army took over this educational work and 
designated the members of the groups who had gone 
overseas to teach as the Army Educational Corps. Presi- 
dent Butterfield gave the larger part of his time to the 
agricultural phase of education, and several interesting 
enterprises were developed. 

The College of Agriculture at the A. E. F. University 
had a faculty of above fifty, and an enrollment of seven 
hundred students. The farm school, under the direction 
of H. J. Baker, '11, had a student body of two thousand 
five hundred. A number of agricultural students were 
sent to French and British institutions. A farmers' 
institute or Extension staff was organized, and it was 
estimated that not less than two hundred thousand sol- 
diers were reached through this means. Five or six hun- 
dred farmers' clubs were organized in different parts of 
the army. An important conference on world agriculture 
was held just before the educational work closed, with 
delegates from Great Britain, France, Belgium, as well 
as the United States. 

Associated with President Butterfield in this task were 
many of the ablest educators of America. He was also 
assisted by Professors Cance and McNutt of the College 
faculty, and by several graduates of the College who were 

30 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



either in the A. E. F. or were taken over from America 
as civilians. 

On October 30, 1916, Mr. Daniel Willard, 1882, was 
appointed by President Wilson a member of the advisory- 
committee of the Council of National Defense, and served 
as its chairman. He was also chairman of the subcom- 
mittee on transportation and communication, and in that 
capacity brought about the organization of the Railroad 
War Board and the co-ordination of steam railroads for 
war purposes. He also arranged for the appointment of 
committees representing the different transportation agen- 
cies, such as electric railways, highways, inland rivers and 
canals, and through these committees obtained a much 
larger degree of co-operation than ever before. 

On November 17, 1917, Mr. Willard was appointed 
chairman of the War Industries Board by President Wilson. 
Owing to serious transportation difficulties which de- 
veloped in the eastern section of the United States because 
of the unusual severity of the winter, he resigned the 
chairmanship of the War Industries Board on January 
11, 1918, in order to devote his entire time to the manage- 
ment of the Baltimore & Ohio property. 

In October, 1918, Mr. Willard was commissioned Colonel 
of Engineers, and ordered to proceed immediately to 
France for extended service in connection with the Trans- 
portation Department, but owing to the termination of 
the war his services were not required, and he was honor- 
ably discharged December 2, 1918. 

Mr. Harold L. Frost, 1895, a trustee of the College, 
served with the American Red Cross in France from 
March, 1918, to March, 1919. He was appointed agricul- 
tural adviser in the hospital farm garden service, and 
later served with the American Peace Commission in 
tabulating war damages in the allied countries. 

Director William D. Hurd of the Extension Service was 
called to Washington to serve as assistant to the Secre- 

31 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



tary of Agriculture in formulating nation-wide projects 
for food production, conservation, and distribution. In 
this capacity he served from August 1, 1917, to March 
30, 1918. 

Major Arthur C. Monahan, 1900, for several years con- 
nected with the United States Bureau of Education, was, 
in the spring of 1918, assigned to the important task of 
organizing for the government the educational work to 
be done among American soldiers who had been wounded 
in the war. For the adequate carrying out of this program 
a number of base hospitals were organized as educational 
units, and the work was developed with notable success. 

Colonel Joel E. Goldthwait, 1885, one of the leading 
orthopedic surgeons in the country, soon after the out- 
break of the war, was asked by the government to recruit 
a staff of specialists and go to France to help meet the 
critical situation there. For twenty-two months he served 
overseas, and his services were officially recognized by the 
British government. 

Federal Board for Vocational Education 

After the fighting had ceased, the Federal Board for 
Vocational Education in this country assumed the respon- 
sibility of taking disabled soldiers and sailors and so train- 
ing them as to make it possible for them, in spite of 
their physical disability, to become self-supporting either 
entirely or in part. The program contemplated placing 
these men in colleges, universities, and trade schools where 
they might obtain the necessary training. Hundreds 
of these men expressed the desire to fit themselves for 
some form of agricultural work, and the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College was selected as the institution in the 
New England States where men from this section should 
be assigned. The first of these men came to us in the 
spring of 1919; in the fall of 1919 about two hundred men 

32 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



registered, and since that date others have been sent from 
time to time. 

A few of these men have enrolled in the regular four- 
year course, many others have entered the two-year 
course in agriculture, while others, whose aims could best 
be met by special courses, have entered in so-called unit 
courses. Altogether, in the last two years four hundred and 
seventeen students have enrolled at the College under the 
direction of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. 

The American University Union in Europe 

Soon after the United States entered the war, a group 
of college representatives in this country organized what 
was known as the American University Union in Europe. 
Headquarters were established at Paris and at London. 
The purpose of the Union was to furnish hotel accommo- 
dations to the extent of its capacity for members of those 
institutions belonging to the Union. The prices for lodg- 
ing and for meals were much lower than those in other 
hotels. The Union also furnished social and recreational 
headquarters, and in general supplied many needs of 
American university and college men who were in Europe 
for military and other service for the cause of the Allies. 
The Associate Alumni of the Massachusetts Agricultural 
College subscribed $100 toward the maintenance of this 
organization, which entitled M. A. C. men to the ad- 
vantages of the Union. Many of our men took advantage 
of these opportunities and testified to the high value of 
the service rendered by the Union. 

Memorial Service 

In the spring of 1919 Dean Edward M. Lewis, who was 
acting president of the College, during the absence of 
President Butterfield in France, felt that there should be a 
memorial service in honor of those who gave their lives in 

33 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



the great war. The service was held in Bowker Auditorium 
at 3 P.M. on June 11, when the following program was 
presented : 

Organ prelude. 

Invocation Rev. John A. Hawley 

Organ solo, Prelude in C Minor, Chopin 

Mrs. Edna K. Watts 

Remarks in behalf of the Trustees . . Mr. Chas. A. Gleason 

Vocal solo. "Lest We Forget," De Koven 

Mr. Harlan N. Worthley 

Remarks in behalf of the alumni, . . Dr. Joseph B. Lindsey 

Organ solo. Prelude and Fugue in G, Bach

Remarks in behalf of the Faculty, . . Dean Edward M. Lewis 

Vocal solo, "The Americans Come," Fay Foster 

Mr. Harlan N. Worthley 

Benediction Rev. John A. Hawley 

Organ postlude. 

The relatives and friends of the dead heroes were 
invited and the families of seventeen were represented. 
It was a beautiful and typical June afternoon, and the 
service was dignified and impressive. 

Extracts from the addresses made by Hon. Charles A. 
Gleason, Dr. Joseph B. Lindsey and Dean Lewis may be 
found on pages 195 to 203. 

Memorial Hall 

Just when and where this noble project was first con- 
ceived will never be known. And it will be better so. If 
by any chance its origin be traced hereafter to any single 
individual, let us hope that his name will never be revealed. 
It will be prouder and sweeter for us to believe, as we 
believe now, that it was born of many minds in many 
places, — minds welded together and inspired by one 
mighty love and by one great devotion. 

34 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Such seem to be the facts as our minds revert back to 
the months and weeks following the signing of the armi- 
stice on November 11, 1918. Suggestions for a suitable 
memorial to commemorate the fine record of the College 
in the war were heard soon after the booming of the 
cannon had ceased. By January, 1919, the question was 
openly raised by students, alumni, and members of the 
faculty, and the weeks following revealed a constantly 
increasing interest and discussion. 

Dean Lewis invited a group of the alumni to meet with 
him at the Boston City Club on April 14 to consider the 
memorial proposition and various other matters of vital 
interest to the College. As a result of this invitation, the 
following met with Dean Lewis: 

Atherton Clark, '77. WUlard A. Munson, '05. 

Homer J. Wheeler, '83. Ralph J. Watts, '07. 

Joel E. Goldthwait, '85. Albert R. Jenks, '11. 

Evan F. Richardson, '87. Percy W. Pickard, '11. 

George B. Willard, '92. Fred D. Griggs, '13. 

Charles A. Peters, '97. Edward C. Edwards, '14. 

Herbert W. Dana, '99. William V. Hayden. '14. 

Arthur W. Gilbert, '04. George B. Palmer, '16. 

Harold F. Tompson, '05. Harold Aiken, '16. 

Bertram Tupper, '05. Roger W. Weeks, '18. 

The suggestion which the Dean made relative to pro- 
viding a suitable, dignified memorial appealed to those 
present as a project which should be at once undertaken. 
Plans were made for bringing together a somewhat larger 
group of M. A. C. men to consider this matter, and on 
April 28, some forty M. A. C. men again gathered and 
directed their thought toward a memorial of some kind. 
A smaller group of alumni met weekly in Boston and 
agreed that it would be worth while to place before the 
alumni for their consideration a plan looking toward the 
erection of a substantial memorial hall which should be 
used as headquarters for student activities. It was also 

35 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



thought advisable to arrange a large alumni meeting in 
Boston some time before Commencement, when this 
project might be formally launched. This meeting took 
the form of a Memorial Rally to welcome home our war 
heroes and to commemorate the sacrifice of the M. A. C. 
men who died in the service of their country. 

The date for the Memorial Rally was set for May 23. 
On that evening, two hundred and eighty-eight Aggie men 
met at the Boston City Club. This was the largest num- 
ber of M. A. C. men ever gathered together for a banquet. 
Dr. H. J. Wheeler, '83, served as toastmaster. Addresses 
were made by Colonel Joel E. Goldthwait, '85, General 
Clarence R. Edwards, Dean Lewis and Dr. A. W. Gilbert, 
'04. During the evening the proposal for the erection of 
a suitable memorial building was made and discussed at 
length. Those present unanimously endorsed the project 
for raising $150,000 for a memorial hall, subscribed $20,000, 
and authorized the executive committee of the Associate 
Alumni to appoint a committee to secure plans for the 
building and to direct a campaign for the raising of neces- 
sary funds among the alumni of the College. Mr. James 
H. Ritchie, who has been the College architect for several 
years, volunteered to serve as architect for the building, and 
to charge only one-half the usual commission for such work. 

The executive committee appointed the following as a 
memorial building committee: 

Atherton Clark, '77. J. A. Hyslop, '08.

Subsequently Dean Lewis and Ralph J. Watts, '07, 
were added to this committee as ex officio members. 

The memorial building committee met on June 9 and 
organized, with Atherton Clark, chairman, Arthur W. 
Gilbert, vice chairman, Fred D. Griggs, secretary, and 
Fred C. Keimey, treasurer. Provision was made for 
organizing a campaign for funds and for the completion 
of the architect's drawings. On June 30, A. W. Spaulding 
was formally placed in charge of the financial campaign, 
and he immediately entered upon this task with charac- 
teristic energy and enthusiasm. Briefly stated, the plan 
of campaign was as follows: 

Subscriptions were asked directly by the campaign 
manager, and the appeal reinforced by class leaders or 
secretaries and by representatives of local clubs. The 
appeal was made for every M. A. C. man to make a 
contribution, and class quotas were assigned on the basis 
of $100 for each living graduate. In order to make it as 
easy as possible for individuals to make such pledges, it 
was proposed that payments be made in four installments 
on the following dates: January 1, 1919; July 1, 1920; 
July 1, 1921; July 1, 1922. On October 1 the campaign 
was formally launched. 

Mr. Willard A. Munson, '05, and Mr. Howard L. 
Russell, '18, on that date addressed the students of the 
College and made an appeal for their loyal support of the 
project. As a result, $26,000 was raised by the students 
within twenty-four hours. Practically every member of 
the student body, including special and two-year students, 
subscribed. Previous to this date campaign literature 
had been sent to all M. A. C. men. An illustrated pam- 
phlet describing the proposed building had been prepared, 
and this, together with the pledge blank and a general 
appeal, reached each M. A. C. man on or about October 
1. Mr. Munson and Dean Lewis took an extended trip 
into the West in the interest of the campaign; they met 

37 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



individuals and groups of alumni as far west as San Fran- 
cisco and Los Angeles. 

The pledges came in freely during October, as the 
result of an intensive mail campaign that reached alumni 
in every part of the world. On October 25 a World Aggie 
Night was arranged in over twenty-five cities and towns 
in the country. On this date six hundred M. A. C. men 
gathered simultaneously, and as a result practically all 
of the fund of $150,000 was pledged. 

By this time plans and specifications for the building 
were ready, but the committee was still confronted with 
the problem of financing the construction of the building 
until such time as the pledges should be paid. Through 
the influence of Mr. Clark, chairman of the committee, 
the committee was advised on December 13 that the 
American Trust Company of Boston would lend the 
Associate Alumni the necessary funds on notes signed 
by the corporation. On this date, also, the contract for 
the building was awarded. 

Following is an analysis of the amounts and sources of 
the pledges made towards the Memorial Building Fuad:

M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



A study of this schedule indicates that 62 per cent of 
the total number of pledges was made by alumni, 33 per 
cent by students, and 5 per cent by the faculty, friends of 
the College, and relatives of the boys who died in the 
war; 77 per cent of the total amount was subscribed by 
alumni, 18 per cent by students, and 5 per cent by faculty, 
friends, and relatives. Subscriptions were received from 
67 per cent of the living graduates whose addresses are 
known and from 35 per cent of the non-graduates. 

It is of interest to note that only 20 per cent of the 
total came from subscriptions of $500 or over, whereas 
one-third of the total was the result of five hundred pledges 
of $100 each, and nearly another one-third came as the 
result of individual pledges of less than $100 each. 

Subscriptions came from alumni living in Cuba, Porto 
Rico, Hawaii, Philippine Islands, South Africa, British 
West Indies, Malay Free States, Turkey, Mexico, Japan, 
Santo Domingo, Canada, Serbia, Costa Rica, Brazil, and 
from many boys still in the Army in France and Germany. 
The subscriptions from friends of the College came without 
solicitation, and the total added to the fund from this 
source was considerable. 

To the Class of 1905 should be given the credit for 
being the first to subscribe its full quota, not only of the 
total assigned but of 100 per cent of individual subscrip- 
tions. 

Each of fifteen M. A. C. men who were in Amherst during 
the summer, many of whom had been overseas and some of 
whom had been wounded, subscribed his State bonus of 
$100 toward this project, and issued an appeal to his 
comrades to support the fund to the limit of their ability. 

The success of the campaign was due in no small part 
to the leadership of A. W. Spaulding, who served as the 
executive manager from July, 1919, to February, 1920. 
Mr. G. M. Campbell, '20, who succeeded Mr. Spaulding, 
was untiring in his efforts in following up the work done 

39 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



by Mr. Spaulding, in securing further subscriptions, and 
in securing the payments of pledges already made. 

Ground was broken for the building March 30, 1920. 
The corner stone was laid Sunday, June 20, following the 
Baccalaureate address to the senior class. A large number 
of students, alumni, faculty, and friends of the College 
met on this occasion. Addresses were made by Mr. 
Atherton Clark, Mr. William Wheeler, and Dr. Joel E. 
Goldtliwait. The building will be dedicated at the 1921 
Commencement. 

The alumni propose to deed the building to the College, 
providing that the College shall maintain it perpetually 
for the purposes designated. The management of the 
memorial building is vested in a committee known as 
the Board of Managers of Memorial Hall. The committee 
is created jointly by the Associate Alumni, the President 
and Trustees of the College, and the Student Senate. The 
duties of the Board are: 

1. To manage the building in harmony with the designated purpose 
of the donors. 

2. To have charge of the building with respect to conduct, and to 
be responsible for its proper use and upkeep. 

3. To assign offices to the various student activities, and to regulate 
the dates of public affairs held in the auditorium and social room. 

The first Board of Managers is composed of the fol- 
lowing : 

Two students appointed by the Senate: Nathan W. Gillette, '21, 
and Henry S. Moseley, '22. 

Three alumni appointed by the Associate Alumni: Sumner R. 
Parker, '04, Raymond H. Jackson, '08, and Enos J. Montague, '15. 

Two members of the faculty appointed by the President : Professors 
Joseph S. Chamberlain and A. Victor Rice. 

The Treasurer of the College, ex officio, as general custodian of College 
property: Fred C. Kenney. 

The President of the College, ex officio, representing the Trustees: 
Kenyon L. Butterfield. 

40 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



The appointment of members is made annually for terms of one year. 
The Board meets annually in September (or in June), and elects such 
officers as it may consider necessary. 

In determining to raise by subscription sufficient funds 
to erect a suitable war memorial, the alumni of the Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural College were pioneers in a practice 
which has since become quite common among American 
colleges. A careful investigation indicates that no other 
college or university in this country preceded ours in 
beginning construction on a memorial building. 

The Memorial Hall enterprise was a daring one. Our 
alumni are not numerous, very few have great wealth, 
and besides, they had never before been asked to subscribe 
any large amount of money for any college purpose. A 
few alumni felt that it was unwise to launch the drive at 
the time proposed, and some were skeptical of its success. 
On the other hand, there were a small group of alumni 
who, from the outset, had enthusiasm, courage, and faith 
to believe that the inspiring record of the College during 
the war would furnish sufficient incentive to insure suc- 
cess. Every one had faith in the loyalty and love of the 
alumni for their Alma Mater and believed that a large 
percentage of the graduates would gladly make the sacrifice 
necessary to erect a creditable memorial. The belief and 
faith of those who early supported the movement has 
been amply justified, and the College will always feel 
proud of this great achievement. It marks the beginning 
of a new relationship between the College and her gradu- 
ates. 

Military Record 

In this volume are printed the individual records of 
M. A. C. men who served in the World War. There are 
also certain lists and tabulations which may assist in a 
better appreciation of the part which our men had in the 
great struggle. The data here assembled are the result 

41 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



of the endeavor which the Secretary of the College 
has put forth since the summer of 1917 to collect and 
preserve all the records available. They are necessarily 
incomplete, and there may be some inaccuracies. It 
has been extremely difficult to secure exact data and 
quite impossible to obtain everything. The following 
are appended: 

List of men who gave tlieir lives in the World War, with records and 
available photographs. 

List of men who served as members of the army and navy, with indi- 
vidual records. 

List of men who served officially with the Red Cross and welfare 
organizations, with individual records. 

List of commissioned officers. 

Summary, by classes, of men in service, number of commissioned 
officers, number serving overseas and casualties. 

Analysis of men in service from classes of 1913 to 1922. 

Selected letters and other memoranda of interest. 

It is quite natural that the representative of any college 
or university who has known intimately its war history, 
and who is preparing a permanent record of such, should 
feel that the war record of his particular institution is 
the best of any in the land. No such claim is here to be 
voiced, because we well know that every American college 
and university made a response to the demands of the 
hour which will forever stand as an eloquent testimonial 
to the whole-hearted loyalty and patriotism of those young 
men of our land who frequently are classed as the "elect 
of society." But it may be fairly challenged whether any 
college in the country has, on the whole, a prouder war 
record than has the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 
— a total of 1,304 students, graduates, former students, 
and faculty in war service; 446 commissioned officers; 
454 overseas; and 51 deaths. This briefly is the proud 
record. 

Of these fifty-one casualties, forty-eight resulted from 

42 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



service with the United States military forces, one with 
the American Y. M. C. A., one with the British Army, 
and one with the French Army. 

Twenty-seven were killed in action or died as the result 
of wounds while serving in the American Army; eleven 
died from disease in American camps ; four died in France 
from disease resulting from military service; four were 
killed in air-plane accidents in America; one died from 
disease in England; one was killed in action while serving 
with the French Army, one with the British Army, and 
one with the Y. M. C. A.; and one was killed by accident 
in France after the signing of the armistice. 

Of the thirty-four who were killed in action or died as 
a result of military service in France, one death occurred 
in 1914 while serving with the French army; one in 1916 
with the British Army; five between April 20 and July 
1, 1918, with the American Army; twenty-one between 
July 1 and November 11, 1918, with the American Army; 
and six after the armistice was signed. 

Of the so-called major operations of the war, M. A. C. 
men participated in every one. 

A further analysis of the statistics reveals the fact that 
of all the men entering the institution in the classes from 
1913 to 1922, inclusive, 1,058, or 6Q per cent, were in war 
service, and of the 844 men entering in the classes of 
1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921 there were 639, or 76 per 
cent. Of the total of 1,304 who were in war service, 81 
per cent were from the classes of 1913 to 1922, and 49 per 
cent were from the classes of 1917 to 1921. 

Attention should be directed to the fact that a number 
of the younger graduates of these classes were exempted 
from military service on occupational grounds, because 
they were engaged in agricultural production or because 
they were serving in agricultural teaching, research, 
Extension work, or were in State or Federal employ as 
agricultural specialists. 

43 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



On the other hand, many graduates who unquestionably 
could have secured deferred classification because they 
were married, or on occupational grounds, waived this 
consideration, and early in the war volunteered for military 
service. 

Those who by long association with college men are 
familiar with their enthusiasm, zeal for adventure and 
self-sacrificing spirit in critical hours fully expected that 
they would be the first to throw themselves whole- 
heartedly into the world struggle. But not even members 
of the faculty correctly anticipated the effect which 
America's participation in the war would instantly have 
upon our students. During the first year of the war the 
President, the Dean, and others near to the students, 
endeavored to convince them that until they were drafted 
their best service to their country would be to secure all 
the college training possible as a preparation for admission 
to an officers' training school, or for other posts of leader- 
ship. This appeal resulted in complete failure, because 
these young men could not be convinced that their place 
was elsewhere than with the actual fighting forces on land 
or on sea. We saw these boys — they seemed to be mere 
boys then — go out from their college work; we saw 
scores of our young alumni leave their peaceful occupa- 
tions, all with complete abandon. Later we saw these 
same boys — transformed in a few months into men — 
return and resume quietly their old-time pursuits; we 
saw many return disabled and broken in body, and we 
looked in vain for the faces of those who will never return. 
And to us there came an inspiration and a vision of the 
splendid, heroic manhood of our country which we can 
never forget; and even yet we are not able to appreciate 
the full significance of the patriotism and self-sacrifice of 
our College boys, and we meditate on the great event, 
not only with great pride and admiration, but also with 
reverence and awe.

OUR HONORED DEAD 



WE ARE THE DEAD 

{In memory of the Aggie men who gave their lives in the Great War.) 

The lights of old South College one by one 
Blossom in fire; across the quiet Pond 
A murmur stirs and whispers and is gone, 
The North Star shines on Toby; and beyond 
The sorrow and the heartache and the scars 
Wheel the inviolable squadrons of the stars. 

Across the shadows drifts the undertone 

Of laughter and of music and of talk; 

Great schemes are hatching, building stone by stone 

The future, and deep friendships where men walk 

Smoking along the paths where once before 

StroUed the undaunted dead we see no more. 

"Whether we faced them from the lecturer's chair 
Or shoulder to shoulder listened in the seats. 
We know one golden lad of yellow hair 
Walks on the wind and still his comrades greets. 
And all the gay young faces that we knew 
Have only changed to let the light shine through. 

They are not dead, they do not, cannot die. 
They are as near us, nearer than before; 
'Tis only we who have so dim an eye 
We cannot see them stamping out the door 
Playing at ball and laughing deep and clear; 
Only our ear is dull, we do not hear. 

About the Chapel still the ivy shades 

The graven numbers of each scattered class. 

Never again to gather for those raids 

That shocked the village when they came to pass; 

And now we build a structure that will keep 

Alive our dead who in the Argonne sleep. 

47 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Their bodies rest outwearied with the day; 
Hunger and thirst and agony they knew; 
Dying they smiled, for suffering could not slay 
The love they bore, the faith they held so true: 
And now they bid us still be comforted 
Knowing they live — 'tis we who are the dead.

LETTERS, ADDRESSES, AND OTHER 
MEMORANDA 



Letter from Lieutenant Louis W. Ross, 1917, about 
January 1, 1918 

The life of a soldier in France is to be envied, in some ways, 
because he has the chance, which is available to so few so far, 
to be a participant in, and to see the operations and existing 
conditions both in and behind the lines of, a fiendish and 
unparalleled war and a war-ridden country. He sees the 
terrible physical results of previous offensives due to gas, fire, 
shell-fire, shrapnel, bullets and many other death-dealing 
materials; he sees the endless procession of supplies and ma- 
terials constantly pouring into the trenches from the rear 
(everywhere are storehouses for such) ; and he sees the number- 
less privations and shortages that the people of the country 
have to endure. But, on the other hand, are hardships that 
one must pass there in order to be a participant. 

Naturally you wonder what the hardships could be — not 
hardships to us, for we are used to them, but hardships to all 
those in the States. We have no steam-heated barracks, no 
large drill and parade ground, no visitors or short vacations, 
no concerts or movies. We live in barns with porous roofs and 
dirt floors, with but three blankets, some straw, and no pillows,, 
and this in the dead of winter, a foot of snow, and below zero. 
Some places the men build stoves with bricks, but there is 
no smoke outlet except the roof — then, again, wood is almost 
impossible to get. Two of my men sleep in an immense beer 
barrel; two others sleep in an empty stall between the horses 
and cows in one of the barns. You may not believe it, but it is 
so. But I must say the American soldier is the most ingenious 
fellow on earth when it comes to making himself comfortable. 
You can fool him once, but he is ready the next time. I am 
reminded of an example of this which occurred on a train. 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



The men were in box cars labeled "10 cheveaux et 40 
hommes," and experienced a very cold night of it, but the 
next night they had stoves made of stones they picked up 
during stops, plenty of wood, and coffee boiling in tin cans. 
We billet in little dirty French towns, terribly neglected from 
lack of men to keep them up. These towns, you know, are 
continuous buildings in a group, with good roads but no houses 
between towns. This town where I am is entirely secluded in 
a little valley some distance from a railroad. There are never 
any visitors, only the couple hundred French people who live 
here. Any town we stop in for any length of time we must 
clean up. With the jacks of all trades in the company we 
have fixed the town clock, made shower baths, constructed a 
sewerage system, repaired buildings and broken windows; in 
fact, we have either mended or cleaned up everything, whether 
the townspeople liked it or not. 

In order to show what things all the men over here must do, 
I will try to describe a ninety-mile march we made to this 
village in the dead of winter. We made this march in a foot 
of snow, it snowing every one of the seven days (sometimes it 
was hard to find the road) and the thermometer below freezing 
all the time. The men were carrying 50-pound packs and a 
rifle, some without even socks and gloves. At night, having 
nothing but barns to stop in, their shoes would freeze hard, 
and it was necessary to burn straw in them in order to get 
them on again, and then some would burn the soles out, thereby 
necessitating walking in practically bare feet — they had to do 
it. Some wrapped gunny sacks on their feet because shoes 
were impossible to get on; others did not dare to take their 
shoes off during the whole march, having to sleep in wet shoes. 
At night they often just refused to eat on account of being so 
tired; other times the green wood would not burn, therefore 
nothing to eat anyway. Whenever we did eat, the beef 
quarters and bread had to be cut with an axe because of being 
frozen hard. The last day was terrific, the coldest of all, and 
as we came through a blizzard along the last long stretch of 
flat country to this little valley, which we came upon suddenly 
through a little wood, the men were about ready to give up; 
exhaustion prevailed. As for myself, I had to carry two packs 

174 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



and a man on my back the last half mile, and it took just two 
hours to do it. And through it all never a complaint was 
uttered. The men took it and said nothing, — it had to be 
done. These are the sort of men who are over here fighting 
and taking everything as it comes. It is the same with all of 
them. For my own men, they sure are a cocky, Hun-thirsty 
bunch of wildcats, waiting to be unchained. They are a curs- 
ing, rip-roaring, God-fearing bunch, afraid of nothing on 
earth. When they go through bayonet drill they are maniacs, 
their growling and cursing as they stick the dummies will 
make any Heiny's liver curl up. 

We have all read more or less about the trenches, but you 
will be surprised to know that they are not as one imagines — 
they cannot be described, really; one has to go there and be 
under shell-fire to appreciate life in the trenches. You will 
be surprised to know that one fears nothing when going into 
them; the fear comes when one is ready to go out. I spent a 
stretch of time in them, and that was my experience. Of 
course the trenches are full of mud and water in the winter, 
and one has to drop face down in it whenever a shell bursts 
near by, but that is nothing. One really is not in constant fear 
of getting hit with anything. It is the last thought — no one 
can understand how he would get nicked. I suppose it is the 
same with all the rest, but when I heard a shell going by with 
that evil swishing noise I just laughed with joy that it did 
not stop for a visit — and they do not stop very often except 
on Christmas or New Year's. I had the pleasure of having 
my Christmas dinner in a dugout under the ground about 
forty feet. We had beef, carrots, potatoes, plum pudding 
and beer for our meal, — a regular spread. The dugout was, 
of course, damp, and the walls were wet, but there was a fire- 
place. In one corner was a deep well for the water to drain 
into, and along the walls were bunks quite convenient to rat 
holes. The well was also used to throw the rats into after 
killing them. Rats are the real enemies in the trenches, not 
their brothers, the Heinys. A trench club is always necessary, 
and is usually kept very active, especially at night when trying 
to sleep. Yes, the trenches are not so bad; we have beautiful 
fireworks at night, aeroplane combats occasionally during the 

175 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



day, and we have much fun dodging the "flying pigs," — 
big loping shells that come high and slow, and easily seen, but 
very dangerous. The American soldier, — do not call us 
Sammies, — with his helmet cocked on the side, has fun in 
this way, and laughs with glee when a shell lands near or a 
sniper has picked off a big fat target. 

And so it all goes. We work hard all day. An oflScer sleeps 
at night if he can. Every one looks forward to going home 
some day, but not till this is all over; and to finish it all the 
sooner, constant work prevails. There are no band concerts, 
no dress parades — just work, eat and sleep, day in and day 
out, getting ready for the big show, with each day being one 
nearer home. All we know, think and dream is grenades, 
machine guns, auto-rifles, V. B's., trench mortars and bayonets, 
but we do not give a damn — Heiny is the one to worry. To 
end up with, perhaps you would like to hear one of my own 
experiences, most vivid to me because it was my first. One 
night I crept out on No Man's Land with an experienced 
officer of another army, who knew the ropes. It was a pitch 
black night, — the reason why we went out. We were in a 
shell hole in front of our wire, having crawled out there very, 
very quietly and slowly. Laying on the other side of the shell 
hole, with our heads above the top, we were peering over the 
land without seeing a thing until a flare lit up the surrounding 
country. The light revealed directly in front of my friend the 
head of a German looking out of another hole a few feet away, 
and without a bit of hesitation, before I could even believe 
my eyes, my friend just threw his rifle, bayonet first, at the 
head, and all I heard was a guttural gurgle, and I ran — or 
crawled as fast as I could, rather — back to where we came 
from. I had had enough for the first time. My friend only 
laughed at me, and said that was nothing but a common oc- 
currence every night.

M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Letter from Fred Mather, 1917 

With the Canadian Forces, 
BosiNGSTOKE, Eng., December 18, 1917. 

I have received six numbers of the "Collegian" through 
November 20, and was almighty pleased. Davies certainly 
did have a treacherous death, and the German oJBBcer got what 
he deserved. 

I have had a medical examination and was placed in cate- 
gory B III. All soldiers are in a certain category of classifi- 
cation. Fighters in France are all A I. B III is the lowest, 
and is next to either a discharge or return to Canada. 
Members of B III are sent to Canada to do various kinds of 
military work there, perhaps to replace fit men for the front. 
I may get sent back to Canada or maybe not. A man who 
gets in the habit of expecting things sometimes gets disap- 
pointed. I expected to be placed in category D I. D is lower 
than B in the alphabet, but D classification means a training 
extending from six weeks to six months to fit men for the firing 
line. I became better sooner than I expected, so am well 
pleased. I may come back to Canada yet. I will get twelve 
days' leave before returning to my depot where I went when 
we first came to England, over fifteen months ago. 

When I am in London I am going to try and arrange for my 
transfer into the U. S. Army. I am a little bit damaged, and 
they may refuse to take me, but I think they should be willing 
to take one of their citizens. If I am refused, there is a demand 
for men B category to take up typewriting and general stenog- 
raphy work in a military school to replace A men for active 
service in the army, 

I had some discomfort when I was wounded, but it is all 
over with, and I think nothing of it. We have concerts once 
a week at this hospital. One thing I dread about leaving is 
that I leave a steam-heated building to go into wooden huts 
heated by two small stoves, with a heating circle around them 
of about five feet radius. There are more than enough fellows 
in a hut to fill up that radius too. Also shaving outside with 
cold water. It makes me shiver to thinlc about it. The baths 
are arranged so that water can easily run out and wind as 

177 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



easily come in. Hot water is provided, but we must run some 
into a pan and pour it into a small tank above our heads to 
run down on us through a lot of holes, an arrangement like the 
top of a watering pot — never mind, spring will be here. I 
always think how lucky I am compared to the poor fellows in 
the trenches. The Germans must be beaten, and we can stand 
a few discomforts. Many men have made the great sacrifice, 
and we have no cause to complain. 

It is interesting to read the letters from the fellows in the 
army which were printed in the "Collegian." Some have 
made good and seem content; others, not so well off, are be- 
ginning to complain, but that is as far as it goes, and we think 
nothing of it after it is over. 

From Letters of Fred L. Barnes, 1916 

At the Navy Yard, Brest. — I have just returned from a mile 
hike this Sunday afternoon along the quay and about the 
city. The quay offers a fine outlook over the harbor, where a 
large fleet of tramps and freighters lie waiting for convoys. 
Away off across the harbor the country is of a rolling type, and 
fades away into the beyond with changing shades of light blue. 
Here and there a cluster of houses denote a hamlet or village, 
between which the green fields are distinctly bounded by 
stone walls. The remains of old castles rear themselves as an 
occasional landmark, and with their probable histories are in 
themselves well in keeping with the spacious territories they 
command. 

On Watch. — A full moon last night made the night almost a 
day. Our mooring place, in a river lined with all kinds of war 
craft and navy building, presents a picture when in com- 
bination with the moonlight, — lights twinkling all about, 
many of them searchlights, the constant rumble of near-by 
machinery manufacturing shells for the front, ahead of us a 
large British freighter taking aboard a big cargo of ammunition 
and aeroplanes securely crated, and on which work is carried 
on all night as well as days. Now and then the shriek of a 
harbor boat or one of the miniature Navy Yard engines breaks 
the silence. The air here is chilly, especially so when the 

178 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



English fogs creep in about 4.30 every morning, wetting every- 
thing unprotected. At exactly 5 a.m. sounds the French 
reveille on board various men-of-war, and the call is taken up 
all along the line. Crews begin to emerge sleepy-eyed from 
below decks to get their morning coffee; 5.15 sees large gangs 
of Austrians, Turks, and Algerians, some of them prisoners, 
hurrying to their various activities and accompanied by armed 
French soldiers. Then comes deck-swabbing and the bef ore- 
breakfast duties. 

Two Days before Christmas. — It is after 9 p.m. now, and 
9.30 will see everything in darkness. To-day we have been 
out sweeping a really truly reported mine-field — cold work, 
too, it was, for the temperature stood just above freezing 
while we got overboard the gear, and ice was a quarter of an 
inch thick on deck. The bay was rough, and old boreas just 
picked off the top of those dark green frigid-looking waves 
and threw it over the afterdeck where we were working, in a 
cloud of spray. We are forbidden to use big coats or gloves 
when working at this, and my hands were too numb to grasp 
eyen the boathook. Life belts over working dungarees are our 
only cold-protection, for if we get overboard the least clothing 
on the better, and the assigned part that I have makes it neces- 
sary to all but get overboard every time we haul in the gear. 

Christmas Eve. — I am writing this now while we are at 
anchor at our new base. Last night, the ship's lights being 
shut off, prevented my writing much. To-day we have been 
out and swept a mine-field again. We steamed into this port 
at 5 P.M., and tied alongside two other boats the same as our- 
selves. I can hardly realize that it is Christmas Eve, the only 
two evidences of this being a spruce tree on the afterdeck of 
the boat alongside, and the many different- toned church bells, 
whose clear tones are coming out across the water. No wind 
is in motion, and a slight mist hangs about. The water is 
limpid with bright rippling reflections of ship's lights, beacons 
and the naval building of the town gardens. Two of us have 
just returned from a trip to the flagship with our skipper, and 
it was really a pleasure to row about on such a night. In 
contrast to the 10 degrees above temperature you mentioned, 
the air was very comfortable. 

179 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Later. — Let me ask a question. Is public opinion at all 
concerned with the American sailors in these foreign waters? 
All we sailors hear is "the Sammies, and our American 
soldiers." We have never had any tobacco given to us, or the 
other charitable donations which have reached soldiers' hands. 
The papers are full of Sammies' doings, but nothing at all 
about the "chaps afloat." Surely, I do not feel hurt, for I 
have received as many Christmas things as any soldier, but 
I'm speaking for the general run of sailors. A recent remark 
made by Colonel Roosevelt interested me. Teddy said, "If 
I had my way, every American slacker would be put aboard 
a mine sweeper in European waters where he would see real 
service." That is indicative of the fact that we are "doing 
things," anyway. From my point of view, I do not give a darn 
about paper write-ups or medals or credit of any kind. My 
hopes are on the end of the war. 

As a grand finale of that day we came within a shade of 
firing on a large submarine. The U boat was German (cap- 
tured), but manned by a French crew. A heavy fog made her 
recognition very difficult, and it was only her allied recognition 
blinker signals that saved her. This life is one of surprises 
and constant alertness. At all times when at sea we wear 
life belts, and a lookout is stationed at the masthead. As 
little clothing as possible is worn in case of getting overboard, 
and watches (not Ingersolls) stand at bow and stern. 

A few words concerning our mine-sweeping. As to gear we 
use I will reserve this information until after the war. Our 
active daily duties take place from two hours previous to high 
tide until two hours after; for this reason, German mines are 
set at depths varying from 15 to 25 feet below the surface (at 
high water). Consequently, after a 7 to 12 drop in tidal feet 
it is rather foolhardy work, playing around these mines when 
your vessel draws anywhere from 10 to 15 feet. Mine fields 
are usually reported by hydroplane or dirigible observers, or 
are felt after the destruction of a number of ships in that prox- 
imity. You see by the tidal calendar that we have six or seven 
days' sweeping, and then are in port for three or four days 
waiting for the tide to come right. Our place of work seldom 
extends more than five miles off shore — the pathway and 

180 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



channels taken by the large convoyed steamships going up or 
down the coast. As a rule, we work in fairly rough water, as 
the Bay of Biscay can scarcely be titled "pacific." However, 
we have been forced to return to port on account of too heavy 
seas. Further details are "out of style" just now. 

Mine-sweepers have been known to sweep a course and have 
a U boat just astern, laying mines as fast as they were removed. 
This was easy, as the sub. was working far below the surface 
all the time, and therefore invisible. Just think how many 
death-dealing inventions this war has brought forth. All 
this is not play, by any means, and accompanied by very little 
warmth these days. 

Now as I write our flagship is steaming in, so in hopes of some 
mail from home I will make an end to this letter. 

It is Sunday afternoon, and as our old bun of a skipper has 
restricted me for this coming week aboard ship I will have more 
time for letters. I was told my mattress cover was dirty and 
thus the restriction. It was my own fault, for I should have 
known enough to turn that mattress cover inside out before 
the old man came below on his tour of inspection. [Pause.] 
Now I can write better, for Rip Converse has just given me a 
big cigar, and it tastes good just after a dinner of fricasseed 
rabbit. Did you ever eat that species of bird? As I write 
now our boat is surging back and forth to the tune of a 25-mile 
southeaster and its accompanying waves. Every second — 
whang! We bump against another of our fleet moored along- 
side, so pardon any jolts you receive in this letter, won't you? 

Had not fate played against me, I would have had one fine 
time this afternoon. Last Wednesday we had just been paid 
off with paymaster's checks, and for these we had to receive 
French money ashore. Barnsie goes ashore at 4.30 that after- 
noon with a borrowed peacoat and some one else's shoes. 
Could not find my own, for some one else could not find theirs. 
Once ashore I was unable to locate the exchange bank there, 
and while wandering about ran across a French soldier. 
Casually asked him where the bank was and he kindly showed 
me. While we walked about we improved the time by getting 
better acquainted. After getting my French money I sug- 
gested that we get some supper, so we did, and here is a rather 

181 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



curious fact. When a gob goes out alone, or in the company of 
other American sailors, everything costs like time. With 
Frenchmen along as companions one pays scarcely anything. 
I was surprised at the bill handed me. For two orders of 
beefsteak with French fried, butter, bread, cheese and a bottle 
of vin rouge I handed over 40 cents in American money. That 
evening until 9 o'clock we wandered about, and while I told 
him American names for everything, he (speaking fairly good 
English) did the same for me in French. This chap who has 
been three and one-half years in the front-line trenches, 
and was on a ten-day furlough home, told me many interesting 
facts about the war. He was at Verdun and at the Marne. 
When asked about the American troops, etc., he said he did 
not expect to see them in the trenches much of any before the 
end of the war, and that his idea was that American money 
and diplomacy would do more toward bringing the war to a 
close than her soldiers would. Before we left each other that 
evening he kept urging that I meet him again before his fur- 
lough was up and go outside the city to his home. I agreed 
and set to-day at 2 p.m. Thus it was that I wanted to get 
ashore especially to-day and could not. I have his address at 
the front, and shall write him. Had I gone I would have met 
his people, and, besides, had a place where after this I could 
go once in a while when on liberty. To know a few people 
over here like that and have a shore home would mean so 
much and help break up this monotonous life. 

From Letter of C. E. Choate, 1917 

France, October 17, 1918. 

Have been over the top with the first American-manned 
tanks to go into action. At St. Mihiel we met very little re- 
sistance, but at Verdun we saw the very hardest sort of fighting. 
Our adventures were thrilling and our losses great. I had three 
tanks put out of action and was with a fourth when I got 
mine, — a slight bullet wound in the arm and gassed. One 
tank I drove was put out of action by a 77 fired point blank 
from under a Red Cross tent over which a Red Cross flag still 
flew. I hope to be killing Germans again in a few weeks.. 

Best regards to M. A. C.

M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Letter from James A. Purington, Graduate Student 

Graphic Story of " Tuscania" Tragedy 

On Active Service with American Expeditionary Force, 
Somewhere in England. 

The first part of my trip over was enjoyable in that I was 
not seasick. The waves ran high at times, even coming over 
deck and giving some good duckings. Some days the waves 
rolled up as huge mountains, bursting at the top with a white 
crest, just like a snow-capped peak. These would toss and 
bob us about like a top out of balance. 

Then came the thrilling part of the trip, all of which, I under- 
stand, is well known in America. Each had his story varied in 
nature, but being a representative of M. A, C, possibly my 
story may be of interest. This I can best tell by quoting the 
following article published in one of the papers — somewhere: — 

"A graphic account of the torpedoing of the troopship was 
given by James Alson Purington, a university graduate of 
New Hampshire (graduate assistant at the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College), serving with the 20th Regiment of 
Foresters. Private Purington said that he was on the upper 
deck when a torpedo struck them on the starboard. There 
was a terrific explosion and the steamer took on a great list. 
He made his way to the stairs to get to his boat station, but 
was stopped by the life-saving crew, who immediately came 
to their stations. With the explosion, the dynamo was blown 
up and the lights failed, but almost at once the auxiliary light- 
ing plant, worked by another engine, was put into operation, 
and flares were lit on every deck. In the first darkness that 
succeeded the explosion there was some difficulty in lowering 
the lifeboats, chains being broken and tackle getting tangled. 
One or two boats capsized, and the occupants struggling in 
the water added to the confusion and tragedy. Private Pur- 
ington ultimately got into a boat with about 40 others, but 
in being lowered it was half filled with water, and in a short 
time all had perforce to jump out. Fortunately for himself, 
Purington managed to clutch a couple of oars lashed together 
after he had floated for some time, and later he also secured a 

183 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



plank that in comparison seemed to promise safety. For 
nearly three hours he managed to keep afloat until picked 
up by a mine-sweeper, but confesses that when the welcome 
boat appeared on the scene he was 'nearly all in.' He had 
nothing but praise for the treatment on the rescue boat, where 
plenty of blankets and hot drinks soon drove out the terrible 
cramps that had tormented him during the last part of his 
stay in the icy cold water. His rescuers informed him that 
there were many dead bodies floating around, but he himself 
was not conscious of very much during the latter part of the 
immersion." 

Before the disaster I stood on the deck for some time enjoy- 
ing the sunset over the water. A finer one I had never seen. 
Then I little realized that shortly the Huns would (as many 
times elsewhere) spoil such a peaceful time, the end of a perfect 
day. When the explosion came I was talking with a friend 
from Springfield whose father has a store there. By aid of 
his searchlight we proceeded over the watery deck to our 
places. 

Well, take it from one who knows, there were many prayers 
that night. I was strangled a "wee bit" more than once, and 
sure felt my prayer was answered when the oars and especially 
the plank came. I had no fear for myself, personally, for I 
feel prepared any day if my time is due. My only thoughts 
during those moments were of the folks at home and how they 
would take it. 

I cannot say too much in favor of the Red Cross and the 
work of the Y. M. C. A. Few people outside of the soldiers, 
I suppose, hardly appreciate their value. 



From a Letter to Mr. Bull, Father of Captain Bull, 
Commanding Officer of Company G, 306th Infantry, 
WITH WHICH Edwin P. Cooley, 1919, was serving 

WHEN HE WAS KILLED 

The Germans held a hill, which was the key position, behind 
the town of Bazoches, and opposite St. Thibaut, on our side of 
the river. This hill — the shape of a natural fortress — 

184 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



presented so formidable a front, and was so well protected on 
the flanks, that to attack it meant a fearfully high casualty 
list, and for several weeks our men held the line there along the 
river. They were entrenched in every available place behind 
hills and knolls, in woods and concealed in dugouts in and 
around St. Thibaut. Under these circumstances a raid was 
planned against the town of Bazoches, and Company G of 
the 306th was selected to put it through successfully. 

I have never known whether the object of the raid was to 
capture the town and try to hold it, or whether it was simply 
to capture prisoners and test out the strength of the enemy 
in the town; for there was much discussion as to the number 
of men the Germans had placed in that strong position. 

This raid was to be protected by a barrage of machine-gun 
fire, not from the guns in the front line, lest they betray their 
position, but by the guns placed back in the hills, using the 
indirect fire. I knew about this from one of the oflScers of 
the Machine Gun Battalion. 

This barrage lasted for nearly two hours, and made things so 
hot in the town that the soldiers of the company selected — 
Company G under Captain Bull — were able to get over the 
bridge and up into the town pretty much unmolested. They 
went far up into the town, throwing hand grenades into cellars 
and dugouts and made prisoners. So far the raid was a great 
success. 

At this time the barrage lifted and stopped — almost as 
suddenly as it had begun, and the Germans came out of their 
entrenchments in overwhelming numbers. Reserves came 
from the right side of the hill which had not been reached by 
the barrage, and the company was forced to retreat out of the 
town in the face of the numbers, and what was worse, under 
heavy fire. They came back, so an eyewitness told me, with 
their face to the enemy every step of the way, giving ground 
slowly and only under pressure. Of course they lost the pris- 
oners taken, and many of the company were taken prisoners 
themselves. 

It was thought at first that Captain Bull was himself killed 
or missing, but fortunately this was not the case. He brought 
them through in splendid shape, and displayed coolness and 

185

courage under the most trying circumstances. I heard it 
stated that seventeen of the company returned, but whether 
these figures are correct or not I cannot say positively. 

Letter from J. H. Gandier 

The following statement is concerning Lieut. Ernest L. 
Davies, graduate assistant at the Massachusetts Agricultural 
College in 1913-14. As soon as England entered the war he 
enlisted with the Canadian Forces, and was killed in France 
October 21, 1916: — 

Ontario Agricultural College, 

GuELPH, Can., May 7, 1917. 

It seems strange that the only two men who, up to the 
present, have gone to the front from your institution should 
meet their death there. I expect you noticed by the list which 
I forwarded that E. L. Davies had been killed. It might be 
of some interest to you to know that this occurred in a most 
treacherous way. Davies was in charge of a detachment in the 
capture of the famous Regina trench. He was rounding up a 
bunch of prisoners, and was about to search a German officer 
who had his hands up, when he was shot a number of times in 
the head with a small automatic pistol which the German 
had concealed in his hand. The men who were with Davies 
kicked the German to death. It is acts such as this which 
make the war perhaps a good deal more bitter than it other- 
wise might be. I thought it might be of some interest to you 
to know just how Davies met his death. 

Letter from Capt. Joseph W. G. Stephens, Company E, 
26th Infantry, relative to Lieutenant Willard H. 
Hasey, 1913, Killed in Action July 19, 1918 

October 31, 1918. 

I was wounded on July 19 and evacuated to a hospital where 
I have been ever since, and due to the fact that my division 
has been continually on the move since then, I have been 
unable to get any of my letters through to it. 

When I was wounded Hasey was still in action. We were 

186 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



making an attack, and of course the line passed on and left me. 
The next night on the hospital train one of my men told me 
that Lieutenant Hasey had been killed by a high explosive 
shell while consolidating our newly captured position. He 
said, also, that he was buried on the field by the men of the 
company and his grave marked. At the time of his death 
he was in command of the company. Other than this very 
meager information I am sorry to have to say that I know 
nothing, and try as I have done to find out more, I have met 
with no success. There is no one left to tell me anything. 
Those who are not dead are scattered in various hospitals all 
over France, and it grieves me to say that they are not many 
in number. They are all gone; the poor company is now 
merely a name to me because all of the old men, with whom 
we worked and suffered, have paid the price in one way or 
another. 

I learned that Hasey and his sergeant (Rutermann) were 
both recommended for the French decoration, but which one 
I do not know. I certainly hope that it was awarded, because 
he surely deserved it. To give you an idea of the nature of 
the attack in which we took part, the colonel, lieutenant- 
colonel, two majors, seven captains, and about twenty lieu- 
tenants were killed in three days.

How to Stop the War. 
Do your part to put a stop to the war. Put an end to your 
part of it. Stop fighting! That is the simplest way. You 
can do it, you soldiers — just stop fighting and the war will 
stop of its own accord. You are not fighting for anything, 
anyway. What does it matter to you who owns Metz or 
Strassbourg? You never saw those towns or knew the people 
in them, so what do you care about them? But there is a 
little town back home in little old United States you would like to 
see, and if you keep on fighting here in the hope of getting a 
look at those old German fortresses you may never see home 
again. 

187 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



The only way to stop the war is to stop fighting. That is 
easy. Just quit it and slip across No Man's Land and join the 
bunch that is taking it easy there waiting to be exchanged and 
taken home. There is no disgrace in that. That bunch of 
American prisoners will be welcomed just as warmly as you 
who stick it out in these infernal trenches. Get wise and get 
over the top. 

There is nothing in the glory of keeping up the war. But 
think of the increasing taxes you will have to pay. The longer 
the war lasts the larger these taxes at home will be. Get wise 
and get over. 

All the fine words about glory are tommy rot. You have 
not got any business fighting in France. You would better be 
fighting the money trust at home instead of fighting your 
fellow soldiers in gray over here where it does not really matter 
two sticks to you how the war goes. 

Your country needs you; your family needs you; and you 
need your life for something better than being gassed, shot 
at, deafened by cannon shots and rendered unfit physically by 
the miserable life you must live here. 

The tales they tell you of the cruelties of German prison 
camps are fairy tales. Of course you may not like being a 
prisoner of war, but anything is better than this infernal place, 
with no hope of escape except by being wounded, after which 
you will only be sent back for another hole in your body. 
Wake up and stop the war. You can if you want to. Your 
government does not mean to stop the war for years to come, 
and the years are going to be long and dreary. You better come 
over while the going is good.

A Soldieb's Thoughts 

To-day I am safe in the barracks. 

And the fight seems far away; 
A fire burns, and it's warm here; 

The morning is bright and gay. 
Last night I was out in a Hades 

Watching the star shells shine, 
And hearing the whine of the bullets — 

Two kilos away from the line. 
Around was a horrible blackness. 

Here only mud and grime; 
The autos all full of the wounded 

Dipped and slid through the slime. 
And each single man on those autos 

More of a man than I, 
For they seemed almost happy 

Some though about to die. 
But, watching, my fears all left me, 

These men were calm — why not I? 
I know that I must die some time. 

And, if it be I die here. 
May I go to my death a-smUing 

Like a Frenchman — without any fear.

{To the memory of Lieutenant Robert C. Westman oj Massachusetts, 
killed in action August 10, 1918.) 
You tell me the war is soon over. 

That Hunland has crumbled down 
And peace in triumphant advances 

Has won through each flaming town. 
I greet you, Rejoicer, with gladness. 

Yet mine is the harder fate. 
For peace with her banners and bugles 

Has come to me too late. 

In a grave on the Lorraine sector 

Where I cannot know even the place 
Lies quiet a torn young body, 

My lad of the shining face. 
He rose in the hour of our anguish 

With his eyes on the ultimate star; 
Now never again may I greet him. 

He has wandered so far. 

honor and beauty and splendor 

Of manhood as clean as the wind, 
O hands that were hearty to welcome, 

O Roland whose trumpet was thinned. 
Who blew in the beleaguered passes 

The horn of our desperate chance. 
Whose faith and whose body were white as 

The lilies of France! 

The lads of the khaki returning 

March down the long lanes of the flag, 
And some of their coatsleeves are empty, 

And some are on crutches that drag; 
They are back to the home of their fathers. 

They have stormed the battalions of Hate, — 
Yet one face of gay laughter is absent 

Peace, you are late, you are late!

ADDRESSES 



Address to the Class of 1917, at their Commencement 
Exercises, by President Kenyon L. Butterfield 

Never before in the history of M. A. C. has a college year 
closed under such extraordinary circumstances. The usual 
Commencement festivities are completely broken up. The ex- 
ercise of conferring of degrees has been reduced to the very 
simplest forms. The Fiftieth Anniversary of the College, on 
the plans for which we have expended so much time and thought, 
an event to which we were looking forward with such keen zest, 
has been indefinitely postponed. The normal activities of the 
campus were suspended weeks ago. Practically the entire staff 
is giving full time to various phases of war work. The under- 
graduate students are largely engaged in farm labor, doing 
their part for the men who are to be at the front. The old 
campus is here, and never looked more beautiful to the eye; 
the buildings are little changed from what they were a year 
ago; but the institution has been completely reorganized in 
its activities, and possibly vastly changed in its spirit and out- 
look. 

All these facts must come home with peculiar force to those 
members of the Class of 1917 who are with us to-night, as we 
assemble once more under the banners of the College, and 
equally, perhaps, to those members of the class who are unable 
to be present with us in body, but undoubtedly are thinking of 
this gathering and what it means to them. Some of your num- 
ber are under military discipline and education, preparing for 
the call to go to the front that may come at any time. Many 
of you are in agricultural service of some sort. Few of you 
are doing what you had planned to do three months ago. And 
when we stop to think of the cause of it all, the proceeding 
seems not only unusual but tragic. The consciousness that 

191 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



our country has plunged into the great World War, and the 
growing realization that an epoch-making period in the world's 
history is upon us, in which we, as American citizens, are to 
play an unwished-for but most vital part, makes the occasion 
most solemn. 

At first thought all this seems like entire misfortune. Your 
plans are broken up. You are called upon to make many 
sacrifices. Some of you and your parents have endured much 
that you might prepare yourselves in this College for a life 
work. Temporarily, at least, you have had to throw all these 
advantages overboard. You have had to engage in occupations 
that possibly are not wholly congenial, and in surroundings 
that you would not ordinarily choose. Some of you have con- 
sented to face the possibility of the supreme sacrifice. The 
face of the world has changed for you in these few weeks, and 
the future is uncertain. 

And yet I know you realize that you are, nevertheless, going 
out into an unusual opportunity, — an opportunity for rare 
service to your country; an opportunity to justify magnificently 
the training which the College has given you; perhaps the op- 
portunity to carry her name and fame abroad. So, while we 
wish that this catastrophe and these changes could have been 
avoided, we accept the situation, forget the disappointments, 
and throw ourselves unreservedly into the work that faces us, 
for we are pledged to do our part; we are compelled to make 
good; we are convinced that each of us must fit into the call 
of the times as best we can. We know that no one of us can 
do the work of some one else, and no one else can do quite the 
work each of us can do best. It is for us to find our places and 
to do our full duty, in order that it may be said of us that — 

Yielding ourselves to the masterhand. 

Each in his part as best he could, 

We played it through as the author planned. 

We are not in this war because we wanted to be. Not only 
did we not wish war, nor will war, but most of us have a hatred 
and even a horror of the dogs of war and all their hellish brood. 
I think, as we look back on the history of our country for the 
past three years, that we recognize the marvelous patience 

192 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



with which we endured injustice and even insult and plotting 
within our borders. We trusted that this patience might bring 
consideration and fair deahng. Many of our people felt at first 
that the war was none of our concern. To most of us it seemed 
remote and far away. After a while, we came to see not only 
that our honor was at stake, but that our future was menaced. 
Most of us believe to the full that the cause of the Allies has 
become our cause. And at last we begin to appreciate that 
nothing less than the world's freedom is the issue. Many of us 
come of a race that has fought its way to liberty through the 
centuries, and we are willing to renew the fight if we must, and, 
if need be, to sacrifice our all for the new freedom. 

While we shall want to give full credit to all who serve in 
this emergency, I am sure that we cannot deny our special 
blessing and tribute to those who may be destined to carry the 
Stars and Stripes across the seas for the honor of America and 
for the gaining of human liberty. We salute to-night, almost 
with reverence, all the Aggie men who wear the khaki or the 
blue. It would be a great relief from our anxiety if the war 
should cease before these are compelled to go to the very front. 
But if they do go, we want them to be able to sing, with Alan 
Seeger: — 

When to the last assault our bugles blow: 

Reckless of pain and peril we shall go. 

Heads high and hearts aflame and bayonets bare 

And we shall brave eternity as though 

Eyes looked on us in which we would seem fair — 

One waited in whose presence we would wear, 

Even as a lover who would be well-seen, 

Our manhood faultless and our honor clean. 

But we cannot ask our sons to be heroes if we ourselves are 
cowardly. And so, while we hope and fervently pray that 
your ranks may not be depleted, that the shadow of death may 
not intervene, that you will all come back to us whole and 
sound, — if we are called to mourn, God grant that we may 
possess the spirit that can say — 

Now heaven be thanked, we gave a few brave drops; 
Now heaven be thanked, a few brave drops were ours. 

193 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



I hope I am pardoned for introducing this solemn note, but 
I feel that we should not underrate our task, nor attempt to 
recoil from its ultimate possible consequences. All of us must 
steel our souls for the last full measure of devotion. 

Yet this is not my last word. I would not have you leave 
us except in the spirit of trust and hope. It is true that now 
we must fight this war through to the end, no matter whether it 
takes five months or five years, and no matter at what cost. 
But we are college men. There will be much to do when the 
war is over. The world will never be the same when peace is 
once declared. New problems will arise that have never come 
up before in quite the same fashion. The solution of these 
problems will need the very best leadership that the human 
race can furnish. The natural supply of leadership is out of 
the rani:s of college men. While we give our present thought 
to the task of the hour, let us not forget to prepare ourselves 
also for the morrow of reconstruction that will surely follow the 
turmoil and suffering of to-day. 

Let us not suppose that when this war is over, and, as we 
confidently believe it will be, won for the political freedom of 
many nations, our full task will have been achieved. The 
doors of democracy are swinging wide, and the peoples of the 
whole earth will soon be marching into the great cathedral of 
human freedom, there to worship the God of liberty. Such a 
gigantic forward step cannot be taken in a day, nor without 
difficulty and struggle. The fight for the full freedom of men, 
in government, in industry, in thought — a freedom grounded 
in service and even sacrifice to the common good — is the 
great call of the new day. 

To men graduating from an agricultural college the chal- 
lenge of the new epoch comes with peculiar force. You can 
see for yourselves that this emergency has brought agriculture 
to the front in the minds of all our people. It gives a chance 
for leadership now and in years to come that may well be the 
envy of college men everywhere. You step out to-night into a 
world of opportunity. Agricultural college men never had a 
better chance to show the stuff they are made of, — to justify 
their training. 



194 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



And so, members of 1917, as you go away from us under these 
remarkable and unusual circumstances, we all, trustees, fac- 
ulty, alumni, undergraduates, give you Godspeed. Wherever 
you may be during these coming months, whether in military 
camps on this side or in the trenches on the other side, or 
whether your service consists in helping on the farms or in 
food supply organization and supervision, I believe you will be 
where you ought to be, doing your full duty, bringing no re- 
proach upon the College that has nurtured you, nor upon the 
country that has called you to her colors. Our hearts will be 
with you; we shall look forward with longing to the day when 
there may be a glad reunion on the College campus, and when 
the men of 1917 may gather here with the other "sons of 
Aggie" in splendid commemoration of all her history, as well 
as in rejoicing at her part in the present struggle. 

Remarks of Mr. Charles A. Gleason, Vice-President 
OF the Board of Trustees, at the Memorial Service, 
June 11, 1919 

My Friends, the Students of M. A. C. If Mr, Wilham 
Wheeler of Concord, our senior member of the Board of Trustees, 
an alumnus of this College and a member of the first class, 
had been here to-day you would have had a fitting word on 
this memorial occasion. 

I hesitate to speak here this afternoon, drafted without any 
previous preparation, but I do say that I am glad to give a 
word of personal tribute, and to represent the Board of Trustees 
on this memorial day. I have been drafted before on different 
occasions, having a service on the Board of Trustees for over 
thirty years, but I think I have never met in so solemn a way 
as we meet here to-day. 

Two years ago and a little more, when war was declared, this 
College had a full number of students who were in earnest about 
a thorough preparation for the civil duties of life. They were 
a set of young men that were an honor to any college; they were 
men that I liked to stand before; to see their faces ; and to hear 
them at Commencement. In a very short time all was changed. 
The civil was subordinated to the patriotic and military, and 
in a very few weeks or few months we had small numbers here, 

195 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



but the numbers were in the mihtary camps. Now we are 
changing back, and many of you have been on the other side, 
many of you have been in our mihtary camps. 

We meet here in part to honor you, but we are here more 
especially to honor those who are not present. I see there are 
fifty names on this list of men who had the promise of success 
in life, — who were energetic, ambitious, and who were starting 
in a career that we all felt proud of; but they laid down their 
lives — they sacrificed their home interests, their college inter- 
ests, and their family interests, and they went to the other 
shores to maintain the honor not only of this nation, but of 
all the nations of the earth. And we meet here as relatives, 
as comrades of this College, to do them honor. We mourn 
them on account of their promise as future citizens. We 
mourn them as comrades and fellow students of this College. 
We mourn them, some of us, from dear family ties, and we 
mourn them as the promise of future citizens of this great 
nation. And it is a privilege for us to come here, not only to 
honor them, but I might say, almost, to glorify these names 
who have done so much for us who remain at home. It is 
said that not length of days make the successful life, but it is 
what we accomplish in the days that are given us, and these 
young men, even though their ages were not great, have per- 
formed a service for this College and the future of this country 
that we can only partly estimate to-day. 

I feel that it is a privilege, in representing the Board of 
Trustees, to speak my very loudest and strongest approval, on 
this occasion, of their lives, and bespeak for them that honor 
which I am sure every member of the trustees would voice if 
they were here to-day. 

Words spoken in Behalf of the Alumni by J. B. Lind- 

SEY, '83, AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE, JUNE 11, 1919 

We are gathered here on this beautiful day in June, "sweet 
amid the bursting fragrance of its roses," to make formal rec- 
ognition of the services rendered by the alumni and students 
in the great World War, and to pay especial tribute to the 
fifty heroes who gave up their lives for the cause of the country 

they loved. 

196 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



This College is a comparatively young institution. It did 
not open its doors for students until two years after the close 
of the great Civil War, and yet on its original faculty there were 
two men (two of the "big four," as the late Mr. Bowker used 
to delight to call them) who in that great struggle rendered 
gallant service to their country. I refer to the late Colonel W. 
S. Clark and President Henry H. Goodell. 

Colonel Clark, although not an Aggie man, was the first 
active president of the College. He laid its foundations broad 
and deep. As major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel he took 
part in numerous battles, including Chantilly, Roanoake Island, 
the second battle of Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg. 
At Chantilly, " he and a few men became separated from their 
regiment, were surrounded and ordered to surrender. Preferring 
to run every risk rather than encounter the horrors of Anderson- 
ville and Libby, a desperate effort was made to escape, and 
all were shot down except the gallant colonel. Bullets whistled 
through his cap and clothing, but unhurt he reached the cover 
of the woods, and lay concealed within the enemy's lines for 
three days, suffering from hunger and exposure, until finally he 
reached the Union forces in safety and was welcomed as one 
returned from the dead." If those bullets had not gone a trifle 
wide of the mark, M. A. C. might have had somewhat of a 
different history. 

Henry Hill Goodell, — the beloved, — a teacher at Aggie 
from 1867 until his death in 1905, and for the last nineteen 
years president of the College, also rendered conspicuous service 
in the Civil War, distinguishing himself particularly in the 
numerous bloody attacks on Port Hudson, and was one of the 
thousand volunteers — "the forlorn hope" — who responded 
to the call of General Banks to make the final attack on that 
rebel stronghold. 

And in passing I cannot refrain from mentioning the former 
Aggie student and West Pointer — the dashing cavalry officer 
— who afterwards became military commandant at the College, 
Captain Dickinson, who was born within a stone's throw from 
the place we now occupy, and in the Cuban War gave up his 
life in the slaughter at El Caney. 



197 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



Speaking to the students in the chapel building yonder, at 
a memorial service held in 1898 for Governor Greenhalge, he 
said: "That higher duty, young men, is the one you owe to 
your country. By your country I do not mean this small space 
crossed and recrossed by the granite-capped hills which so 
closely encircle us, but I speak of a country, a part of whose wide 
domain is always in the sunlight, ... a country with seventy 
millions of people, a country of free speech and free religion, a 
country covered with schools and churches, a country to be 
proud of, a country to respect, and above all, if need be, a 
country to die for. This is the spirit which should be taught in 
our public schools, . . . that the aim of every boy and young 
man might be to make this, our common country, united. Then 
the day will surely come when one could wish no other epitaph 
than this: 'He lived and died an American citizen.''" In these 
last words Captain Dickinson wrote his own epitaph, and you 
will find it inscribed on the tablet to the left, as you enter the 
door of the building in which he spoke those very words; and 
he wrote also a most fitting epitaph for the men who have more 
recently given all for their country and for humanity. We as 
alumni, especially the older alumni, love to dwell upon the deeds 
accomplished by our former teachers and college mates, and we 
come here to-day with those memories in our minds, to pay 
homage to the great body of Aggie men who have served their 
country, both at home and across the sea, and especially to 
pour out our gratitude, in feeble words, in praise of those brave 
souls who gave their all that liberty, justice and truth should 
not perish from the earth. 

Faculty and students remember well those eventful April 
days some two years ago when the President appeared before 
the National Congress and made his patriotic and solemn ad- 
dress, declaring the United States to be at war mth the Central 
European powers. The College soon closed, and nobly, indeed, 
did the student body and alumni respond to the call. It was 
fully realized that of those who went forth not all would return. 
Faces that shone with patriotism and determination now lie 
beneath the sod in a foreign country, or in the churchyard of 
the old home town. Although we are deeply touched and our 
hearts go out in the most profound sympathy to parents and 

198 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



relatives, we cherish a solemn joy that these men, our brothers, 
were willing and able to give their lives for the country that 
gave them birth. 

Mr. President, the alumni and students, in recognition of 
the sacrifice made by their brothers for the sake of humanity, 
have undertaken to provide a fitting memorial, and it is hoped 
that ere long they will present to their Alma Mater a building 
dedicated to the heroes who have passed out. It is indeed a 
large undertaking for so young a College, but so great a cause 
is worthy of the best efforts of her children. The sons and 
daughters of the old College should gird on their armor as never 
before. Many of us could not meet the call for active service, 
but every one of us can give of his substance to commemorate 
the life blood of the fallen ones, and to keep aglow the spark of 
liberty in those who are to come after us. The building should 
represent not only the best in architecture, but in arrangement 
and finish within. Beautiful pictures, the gift of classes yet to 
come, should adorn its walls; paintings of distinguished teachers 
and alumni should hang in its spacious assembly room; while 
athletic trophies, as well as curios sent by its sons and daughters 
who have wandered afar, should find a place beneath its roof. 
When an alumnus, be he old or young, comes back to his Alma 
Mater he should find within this building a welcome, and, if 
possible, a temporary home. 

The citizens of this State, and their representatives gathered 
from time to time at its capital, will appreciate the gift, not 
only as a slight return for all that has been done by the State to 
make this College strong, but as a fitting testimonial to fifty 
of her sons who gave up their lives that free institutions may 
continue upon the earth. 

And as we are thus gathered to pay our modest tribute to 
those brave souls who have gone up to God, we can all, I am 
sure, unite in the thought, that — 

Martyrs for freedom cannot die. 
When marches end, when strifes are o'er, 
In deathless deeds they live, whose sleep 
The roll-call shall disturb no more.

Excerpts from the Address of Dean Edward M. Lewis 
AT THE Memorial Service, June 11, 1919 

This memorial service is held in order that we may pay humble 
and sincere tribute to our brothers who made the great sacrifice,^ 
while the tender memories are fresh, and those of us who played 
and worked with them during their happy college years are 
still here. Were it possible to postpone it, we should have done 
so. I am sure that every one of us feels this afternoon that our 
great leader, who is now in France, would like to be here to say 
the word we know is in his heart; but there will be another 
memorial service, more formal, but not more sincere, let us 
hope, than this. At that time and place he will speak the word 
that needs to be spoken. . . . 

We have with us this afternoon some of the parents, relatives 
and friends of the boys who have left us. Their sorrow is their 
sorrow — theirs alone. One of them said to me in a letter I 
received only yesterday: "I cannot yet believe that my poor 

big A will not return." Neither can we. As we walk about 

this campus, so precious to each of them, dear friends, we 
almost expect to meet them at every turn. But we shall never 
meet them in the flesh again. . . . 

As I have said before, we can never read this glorious list of 
names without realizing the fact that the majority of them were 
simply boys — "just boys." There are three names on this 
list that I can never see without wondering how such lads could 
make soldiers, and yet the list on the tablet before you reveals 
that the majority of the fifty were in the classes of the 
last five years, many of them in their teens, — just simply 
irresponsible, careless, happy boys, running about the campus 
two years ago, and now dead — in the honor roll of their coun- 
try; brave soldiers who went over the top without quailing, 
and gladly gave their all. The best and the only thing that 
can be said at this time, it seems to me, is this one sentence; 
"These boys died nobly in a great cause." . . . 

The question that we cannot help asking at this hour is, 
"For what did these boys give up their lives? For what purpose 
was this great sacrifice?" There are strange voices in America 

200 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



at the present time, and they sound very strident and pathetic 
to some of us who remember this country ten or twelve months 
ago. The partisan and fatahst is speaking loud and boisterously 
in the newspapers, telling us complacently that "war has always 
been and war will always be." The cynic sits back in his easy 
chair, smoking a comfortable cigar, jeering at the thought that 
a sacrifice for an ideal could be possible. One of them is shout- 
ing loud enough to be heard, not only in this country but all 
over the world, that "we did not go into this war to make De- 
mocracy safe for the world." A New England senator declared 
yesterday that President Wilson's noble "ideals were not our 
ideals!" Shame on these men. You and I know better than 
that. These boys went into this war for nothing if not to make 
this world a better world than it had been before — to destroy 
the paganism and barbarism of the Hun and to place in their 
midst instead the holy standards of the gentle Nazarene. . . . 

No. There was no question in the minds of these boys. I 
know it — we all know it who have sat here during the past four 
years as the President of this College and many other leaders 
have expounded to them the great principles and ideals the 
Allies were fighting for. I have seen the early gleam in the eyes 
of the men in front of the desk change in turn to fiery indigna- 
tion, to holy passion, to immovable determination, to consecra- 
tion, complete and unanimous, so that the day when the Presi- 
dent of the United States called, they were ready and eager, 
like thoroughbreds champing at their bits. They left — leaped 
out of the old campus joyfully, put on their khaki, shouldered 
their guns, stepped into the ranks, and went into the fight, 
inspired by a fine frenzy of patriotism, knowing that they fought 
for the very best and the very finest cause. . . . 

Now let me ask you a question. What about a suitable me- 
morial for these dead.'^ How shall we repay the glorious youth of 
these boys.'' We can hold, for instance, another and greater 
memorial service next year when President Butterfield returns. 
That would be good, but not enough. To hold a memorial 
service of that kind every year and every month for a thousand 
years would not be enough to repay them for their sacrifice. 
We can build them a memorial building as big and fine as Dr. 
Lindsey described to us a moment ago. That building will 

201 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



be built on this campus (there is nothing surer than that) "as 
a splendid testimony of our appreciation of their great sacrifice, 
but that will not be enough. The kind of payment that is worth 
while — the only way we can fully repay them — is by doing 
something or giving something that will live longer, a good 
deal longer than any building we build on this or any other 
campus. . . . 

On the top of a lofty height, near my old home in Wales, at 
the foot of which the present leader of Great Britain has been 
living all his life, is a great granite tower. As I stood gazing at 
it seven years ago, I was told that it was a great monument 
built three hundred and fifty years before to commemorate a 
great battle for liberty on the part of the Welsh mountaineers 
against the Anglo-Saxons. It stands there on this lonely moun- 
tain peak like a great broken pillar. To-day it is a broken 
pillar, and the ground all about is strewn with great, crude, 
weather-beaten granite blocks. What remains will crumble 
in due time, and some day will vanish altogether. It never has 
been rebuilt; it will never be rebuilt, they say, but still, thank 
God, — I speak as a Welshman, — the spirit it commemorates 
resides in the hearts of the Welsh people and grows apace. 
David Lloyd George and his fellow Welshmen are "carrying on" 
the spirit of the generation of heroes whom that old tower was 
built to commemorate; and if he and they did not transmit it, 
if they did not possess it, that granite tower of three hundred 
and fifty years ago would be to-day a desecration, not a com- 
memoration. The average Welshman would hang his head in 
shame in the presence of it, and it would reprove him at every 
step. . . . 

We can build a great monument or a beautiful building here; 
we can hold solemn memorial exercises like this every year, but 
it will not be enough. One hundred years, two hundred years, 
from now it might well be necessary for our children to hang 
their heads in shame. There is only one thing that we can do, 
only one thing we must do, at this time. We can and must 
dedicate ourselves to the cause for which these noble boys died. 
God witnessing it, let us pledge, in His presence, that from now 
on we will devote our energies day by day to the great ac- 
complishment for which they died with unsullied honor, with 

202 



M. A. C. IN THE WAR 



pure and undefiled patriotism, and with highest Christian 
chivalry. . . . 

We often say they are gone. Ah, my friends, they have not 
gone. If there is one thing of which we can be more sure than 
any other, it is this: we will meet these boys again. We will 
meet these boys again. They will greet us and we will greet 
them. There is nothing surer in the world. Nothing. . . . 

"Behold! I show you a mystery," said the great apostle. 
"Death is swallowed up in victory." The mystery and miracle 
is revealed to us anew at this hour. These boys who scorned 
death have won the "great victory." Henceforth they are 
immortal, indeed. This is not the hour of sorrow, or of defeat, 
or despair. It is the glorious hour of triumph and victory, 
and the trump calls upon each of us to travel the same road, 
and to travel it hopefully and unfalteringly, till we meet them 
at the great reunion, when God shall wipe away all tears from 
our eyes, and there shall be no more separation.
